Flying by on a rare visit to post. I've been managing to lurk a little but not much else. Been poorly since last weekend and very very busy at work too - think I may have been overdoing it a little.

Had a lovely prayer time at 3am this morning though, reading about "Dwelling in the shadow of His wings" and the fact that when we feel ourselves to be in the dark, we may simply be being protected by the gentle strength of the wings of the almighty. Nice

God bless all.

mufti · 22/11/2009 13:55

we have been blessed by a visit from paul jones and fiona hendley
those oldies among us will remember paul from the blues band, and manfred mann
they are a lovely couple, they did a free show in town last night, and spoke and sang in church this morning.
very uplifting, they shared their testimonies, and were so nice.

CaptainDippy · 23/11/2009 08:19

Thank you for that NQGU

Sounds like you had a super time Mufti

Busy week ahead - best press on through the rain to school ....

Prayers that my CM would be well enough tomorrow to have DD3 would be appreciated - she has been poorly over the w/e and is not having her today. I have work I really should do tomorrow - eeeek!!!! Thanks!!

Love and Prayers to all - how are you doing WM???? xx

I've been blessed with hearing the Archbishop of York talk/preach - Friday night, Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon. He is truly inspirational.

Could do with prayers for peace and reconciliation in a tricky situation. The lack of a solution is really getting me down. Yet I can feel God's presence close to me, and for that I am truly thankful.

Praying that M44's retreat went well, and her MIL has not deteriorated over the w/e.

Praying for health for your CM, CD, and for you to get your work done.

Lovely thought NQGU. I seem to have my best moments with God around that time of the morning. Do you keep a spiritual diary? I find it helpful to read positive thoughts I have written down, when I am feeling weak and fragile.

Praying for Amber and her ongoing situation...

... and for anyone I've missed!

amberlight · 23/11/2009 10:08

Prayers for everyone - for healing, for peace, for hope, for reconciliation, for answers. And for health too.

Prayers needed for tonight, please - I'm speaking at a Baptist 'do' with 70 church representatives from all sorts of churches there to listen to whatever it is I end up saying about autism and faith. Eek!

SweetestThing · 23/11/2009 12:17

Please pray for my brother Scott who is dying. He has been very ill for a long time but has taken a sharp turn for the worst. And for my mum who has looked after him for many years.

Thank you.

DutchOma · 23/11/2009 12:23

Oh SweetestThing, what a hard place for you to be. How old is your brother?

amberlight · 23/11/2009 12:25

Prayers assured, SweetestThing

SweetestThing · 23/11/2009 12:29

DutchOma, he is 47 and a recovering alcoholic, but his body has been battered by too much over the years and has just had enough.

Thank you, amberlight.

MaryBS · 23/11/2009 13:21

That's no age at all! Praying for him, your mum and for you too.

SweetestThing · 23/11/2009 20:04

My brother died this evening. Grateful if you would remember him in your prayers.

Thank you.

DutchOma · 23/11/2009 20:09

Thak you for letting us know, dear. Will certainly bear you all up in prayer. He will be in the merciful and just hands of our Lord. May he rest in peace.

mmrred · 23/11/2009 20:38

Prayers for mmrred's friend, that life may be beginning to form and for SST and your family facing this time at the end of your DBs life.

Also for you Mary and everyone else here.

Would appreciate prayers for DD1, who is living away from home and needs to make some big decisions about her future plans. Pray for guidance and that she makes the right choices. Thanks.

positiveattitudeonly · 25/11/2009 16:10

Sorry its me again. Don't want to be selfish here, but can you pray for a meeting we have tomorrow at 2pm, to discuss DD3's future plans re education? She's 15, not been at school for a year because of her illness, will leave school with no qualifications and due to her illness and dyslexia/dyspraxia will find it VERY difficult to study later, just for the basics.
Life seems to be being really hard on her and her future is so uncertain and restricted. We have a really bad relationaship with the school, who are holding the meeting. Pray for us to stay calm and be able to express our concerns and get the best outcome for DD.

Many thanks. Prayers continuing for you all.

CaptainDippy · 25/11/2009 19:37
