WM prayers for those you know who are affected - how distressing.

Hermya prayers for you and your husband. God will provide (somehow!)

amberlight so sorry for your loss. I think planting something in your uncle's name is a lovely idea.

PA yes, I do love running! I always think of that quote from Eric Liddell (the Scottish athlete and missionary of Chariots of Fire fame) - "When I run, I feel His pleasure." God is good!

CaptainDippy · 13/03/2010 09:07

Prayers for provision Hermya.

Prayers for your friend WM and for the friends and families of hose who have died too. So sad.

Amber - think planting a commemorative tree is a lovely idea. I am not too sure where you live and if you can easily get to the sea like me; but you could write down things you loved about the Uncle, tear them up and throw them into the sea?? Maybe a bit Bronte; but I'm a melodramatic sort

OP posts:
PositiveAttitude · 13/03/2010 14:32

Just flying past and had to say to MrsCad that God is difinitely good, but when I am running it is more a case of "When I run I feel I am going to meet Him!!"

Herm - prayers for His peace in you situation and that as you rely on Him totally you will see His goodness as He cares for every little detail of your families life.

teaandcakeplease · 14/03/2010 09:03

Happy Mothers Day ladies.

My son has a nasty D & V so prayers for him would be fab, he's so unhappy. Any ideas on food for him, he's only eating bananas and plain bread right now.

My hubby is coming over later, please pray for peace and we have a good time, as there is so much tension and underlying conflict due to him not being able to let go of the OW

CaptainCaveman · 14/03/2010 12:10

Prayers for you TACP, how are you feeling in all of this? I pray you have had some time to access support/counselling too?

Exhausting morning in church - 2 very busy little boys trying to test my patience....I have come home for a rest!

No update on colleague's baby yet - but I will let you know when I find anything out.

Prayers for patience much appreciated on my part

DutchOma · 14/03/2010 15:04

CC Have you told them that it is Mothering Sunday and that they have to be GOOD today?

teaandcakeplease · 14/03/2010 16:47

CC - on waiting list for counseling at a local Christian Counseling Centre, it's about 6 weeks. So 5 more weeks to go

It took me a while to come round to counseling and to be brave

Thanks for prayers we had a nice time. He's now gone to airport, off to stay with his mum in Switzerland until next Saturday. He says by the time he gets back he'll have decided about his future and us or OW. Here's to praying he gets his head straight. When I've prayed about it, it felt like God said "trust me". Let me know if you ladies have any thoughts/ words etc.

CaptainCaveman · 14/03/2010 17:28

TACP you can of course trust explicitly in God. You sound very brave and focussed to say what you must have been through - I'm not so certain I would be as strong as you are. Prayers for you and dh, but especially for you and your lo's.

DO I did tell them that, but it seemed to accelerate the naughtiness!

CaptainCaveman · 14/03/2010 17:29

tacp have you ever had counselling before? It's a strange prospect but worth its weight in gold if you can connect with your counsellor

BlueEyeshadow · 14/03/2010 18:29

tacp prayers for all of you and for healing for your son. Plain bread sounds like a good thing to be eating. I'd go for a little of anything he fancies and can keep down at the moment, probably plain things are better.

We're all still very tired and run down. Both boys now have colds again and DS1 is particularly miserable with it. And DS2 still isn't sleeping.

Prayers for my brother would also be appreciated. He's got a lot of things coming together to cause stress and uncertainty at the moment. Thanks.

BlueEyeshadow · 14/03/2010 18:46

Oh and also for my BIL who has important life-changing decisions to make.

teaandcakeplease · 14/03/2010 19:22

CC - no never had counseling hence being in denial for months

CaptainDippy · 14/03/2010 20:17

Happy Mothering Sunday lovely Prayer Thread Mummies xxxx

OP posts:
DutchOma · 15/03/2010 09:03

tacp Is your husband a Christian?
How is your ds this morning?

Happy Monday to all, the sun is shining here, hope it is where you are, too.

teaandcakeplease · 15/03/2010 09:39

Yes my hubby is a Christian but is having trouble hearing God right or wanting to spend time with him. BUT he is getting weekly counseling from a Christian Counselor who is praying with him, so that's something.

Gorgeous day here sadly my boy is still feeing rotten. So no trips out for me. His poos are pure liquid (TMI). Stopped being sick tho.

My DD is in pre school this morning, so its just me and him. Going to watch CBeebies and cuddle him me thinks...

teaandcakeplease · 15/03/2010 09:40
  • right now
DutchOma · 15/03/2010 10:22

tacp It's good to hear that your husband is getting counseling from a Christian counsellor.
Hopefully he will be able to steer him into honouring the promises he made when he married you.
Have a nice day with your ds.

madhairday · 15/03/2010 11:01

Just to update you. my niece is better and out of hospital. Thank you so much for your prayers.
TACP, praying for you and your family. x

teaandcakeplease · 15/03/2010 11:03

MHD - great news! God is good.

Thanks for prayers. Been feeling especially happy and peaceful since joining this thread

CaptainDippy · 15/03/2010 12:47

Hope you little man feels better ASAP MTACP

Great news MHD

Having a "bad mummy" day today. Parenting is hard

OP posts:
madhairday · 15/03/2010 16:19

It is hard CD. Give yourself a break - I always think it's only those who feel they have 'bad mummy' days who really are good mummys. Because they care. Take it easy on yourself. Have a cuppa and some chocolate will pray.

ZipadiSoozi · 15/03/2010 20:59

Captain D & Captain C - Prayers your lo's are behaving themselves for their beautiful mummys. My twins have been on a school trip to 'Cadburys World' today, have missed them terribly. They returned 'chocolated up'

Prayers for my dad, tomorrow check up after hip replacement, lets hope he can throw away those crutches! yippeeee

MaryBS · 16/03/2010 07:13

Feel guilty because I've not been here. Will try to get chance to catch up lately, am meeting with my Spiritual Director this morning, and its the lent group this afternoon.

Would like to give thanks to God - for clearing up misunderstandings at church.

Prayers also needed for DS and Cubs. I am trying to resolve with the Cub and Scout leaders, but it will probably be a rocky road.

amberlight · 16/03/2010 11:12

Keeping the prayers going

teaandcakeplease · 16/03/2010 14:51

There's an interesting thread that could probably do with some Godly ladies commenting on: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/930167-To-ask-Our-Vicar-to

Go on ladies, add your two pennies worth before she ends up being misinformed.
