Please pray for the Convocation of the Episcopal Church in Europe. We are currently in the process of electing our new Bishop. here are the profiles of the 4 candidates
Please pray for the four of them (I'm a little disappointed there is no woman in the line up) , for the search and transition committees who will be organising the lead up to the elections, and everything that follows up to the consecration. And for all who will be voting, that God's will might be done.
Prayers please for all those in areas of fire, and for those who have survived them in the past. We have a new active fire in Northern California and even those not in the line of this new fire who were in previous fires are having their peace rattled by unhappy memories of fear and loss.
So it's a big week for Baby Beaky with two hospital visits. He will be having an MRI under anaesthetic- the first one since day 3 of his life when we were given the daunting news that the brain damage was/ is catastrophic.
He is defying the odds somewhat, doing things the Medics thought he would never do but also continuing to face many neurological and sensory challenges.
His seizures are at a ridiculous level so all prayers for him, his parents and the medical team as they try to find a way through all of this stuff would be so much appreciated.
🕯 Baby Beaky and the Beaky family
🕯 Those affected by wildfires
🕯 Rossweisse, Janine, and their families and friends
🕯 The Episcopal Church in Europe and their prospective Bishops
🕯 All in need
🕯 Prayers ascending for Cathscats's son, NEQ, Mr. Image, Baby Beaky, all those dealing with wildfires and all in any kind of need.
I have had eight of 10 radiation treatments, and am sore, achy, and tired. I'm supposed to go on a major trip on Tuesday, and hoping to be well enough to manage it. Your prayers are very much appreciated!
Thanks for the prayers for my giraffe of a son. The Dr. Will see him in three weeks, but his emotional reaction to the vicissitudes of life has improved 100%, even when the pain is sharp. Next week we are going to Soutn Africa to bring my daughter home from a Gap year placement. Something to look forward to.
Thank you so much for your prayers for Mr GI Just wanted to report that all went very well with first procedure when doctors expected to have problems.
I'm glad that people are already asking for prayer for Janine. I came in here to check on that and I just asked we continue to pray for her fight against cancer and her husband as he bravely tries to help her and keep the spirits up.
I asked for prayer for myself on dealing with a mother who refuses to forgive me for something. Other than going to the story I'll just say that it's not the worst thing in the world but it certainly wasn't A wise choice for me. I apologized and she still is upset over a month later.
She will not talk to me without one of her other children being present in person which is difficult. The only other sibling comes to the Bay Area and is busy with other chores of a house. To make a long story short I don't know how to handle this as I've asked for forgiveness but I'm just not going to get it until she wants to give it.
Meanwhile I am handling paid her caregiver who I set up. This person comes and visits her a few times a week and brings her to her cardiac rehab. I hear from that person how my mom's doing.
My mom is living in seclusion pretty much not seeing anyone but the caregiver. It's a very lonely life I used to go over there every couple weeks to check on her and make sure she had company.
Well I'm free of this and enjoyed my freedom I feel sad that she may die before she forgives me because she's doesn't have a huge amount of time left on the Earth.
But I can't do the groveling that my mother expects. I've done too much self-healing and checked in with too many counselors to do that sort of thing. Plus it doesn't work always.
I love my mother but I have to say I really don't like her Behavior at times. I just need to let go and let God I guess.
I was going to send her a card but I honestly feel that I'm not up to writing it. I'm feeling kind of pissed off at her.
Really unable to make the succinct. I apologize for my first post in a long time be so long.
Please forgive all the typos as I'm running off to choir right now and I don't have time to fix them. Thx. Appreciate it.
Thank you for your prayers for Baby Beaky. He is home from hospital and recovered from the distressing stuff he had to go through.
We now have to wait for the Medics to review the scans and then plan for his future care.
Blimey, this is quite some journey!
My prayers for all of us who have posted here and those we love
I am going to add another request for my Dad. He has fallen again, is back ar A&E, may have a fractured hip. Neither my sister nor I can make it across tonight. Please pray for a scared, hurting 89 year old who is no doubt insisting he is fine to go home!
Also for the Dowager - the antibiotics she was prescribed for an incipient chest infection appear to have backfired and given her a UTI.
She has lost interest in eating or - worse - drinking, and become slightly vacant. Worst of all, she has started taking all her clothes off in the public areas of the care home. God help us!
Praying for our cadet Shippies, Baby Beaky and baby en rouge. And for all, especially Jengies Dad and the Dowager with age related problems as well as physical troubles.
Off up to church in this bitter, invigorating cold with a list of all requesting prayers, young and old. It makes the act of prayer more concrete for me to light candles, kneel in a pew and go through the names and requests in the stillness of an almost empty church.
The Dowager is being admitted to hospital this morning. Please of your charity pray that whatever the resolution of this crisis, it is not long in coming
Dad got back to his place in intermediate care from A&E at 1 a.m. (I know he phoned me). Apparently, no major injuries but the intermediate care are keeping him in bed at least this morning. He will have to use the buzzer.
Prayers for all, especially for family members you cannot be with.
On that note, please pray for my 18 year old daughter, currently finishing a Gap year in South Africa who was attacked and stabbed in a safe place last night. Thankfully she was stabbed in the arm so that the assailant could get the iPad she was carrying, not anywhere else, though she also has a wound in her stomach where the blow ended. Nothing vital hit, but stitches and shock, and she feels a long way from home, on both sides.
The Dowager is not in a good place, sadly - she has a chest infection apart from anything else (?UTI) and my brother and I spent hours this afternoon trying to stop her wandering off into the hospital.
Please pray for all those nurses who have to deal with this daily; and if the Spirit moves you, for release for my poor mother the Dowager. She has no dignity left now
Poor Baby Beaky has just been rushed to hospital after three enormous seizures.
His parents are exhausted and the doctors are struggling to take blood. Very traumatic.
This is so very hard for them.
