  • Praying for all that need our prayers, specially those who feel they cannot ask.
    My brother, K, who has been in hospital most of the time since April is due to have an operation tomorrow to hopefully sort out the problems from the first one. Prayers that it is all straightforward and that he can really start to get well again. Also for his wife J and ten year old son G as they wait for news.
  • Please uphold my aunt N who is going through the scary process of having a pacemaker fitted, and her husband I who will have a kidney operation on Wednesday after a ridiculously long wait. Also N’s son P and his wife F who have travelled from a far country to care for them.
  • Back home now after a long, tiring, and very good day. Everything went well. Thanks for all your support.
  • Glad to hear that, Robert Armin, was hoping that they would let you do you. :)
  • Thank God.

    In happier news, thank you to those who sent up prayers about the sale of Château Piglet - I accepted an offer this afternoon. :smiley:

    Just caught this. Congrats, @Piglet . What a relief that must be!
  • @Robert Armin as my dear mother in law always says now is the time to look after you.
    My brother is out of surgery, and I'm awaiting a report from my sister in law who was going to the hospital to see how he is, but so far things look good.

    I have made amazingly little progress on the thesis-related to-do list and am now paralytic with fear. HLEP

    See the Praise and Thanksgiving thread for an update on Problem Cat. Your prayers do work, folks!

    For A., struggling with healing, helping others heal, and with lifelong firsthand knowledge of the world’s cruelty.

    For K.

    The Telemum is generally doing great, but the diuretic she is on (furosemide) has always made her dizzy and given her blurred vision. Therefore the doctor increased her dosage. Wherefore I now have to follow her around the house and hold her up when she starts to faint. I also have to work downstairs and am not getting much done in between doctor’s visits, nurses coming round to re-dress the bandage she ripped off while beset by night cramp and saying “I really don’t think that furosemide is doing you any good”, and shuffling across the room to sit and make phone calls to cancel, phone calls to ask for a blood test, phone calls to cancel the appointment she didn’t know she had, phone calls to ask for the appointment back again, phone calls to move the appointment, phone calls to cancel the dentist, phone calls to cancel the optician, and meanwhile I can’t plug in my laptop because it’s next to the phone so we have to play slow shuffling musical chairs again, and turning the TV down only to have it turned up again. The doctor FINALLY said to taper off the furosemide, but also IMO the meds for Meniere’s disease aren’t working partly because she hasn’t been on them long, but also because she doesn’t have Meniere’s disease because IT’S THE FUROSEMIDE and every time she manages to carve out a little bit of vitality for herself, a freeze-dried medic springs into existence before us and imposes furosemide on her. NO. MORE. FUROSEMIDE. PLEASE. kthx

    And for this benighted nation and its degenerate government and unworthy opposition. May God have mercy on our souls.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Yea and amen to all of that, Telepath!
  • RossweisseRossweisse Hell Host, 8th Day Host
    Amen, amen, ahh-men.
  • Prayers for all.
  • Telepath, are the thesis authorities aware of the conditions under which you are working? Attempting to work.
    (I have been finding boxes of butemide (?) diuretic which D had decided for herself she was no tgoing to take.)
  • 🕯For all above, thanking and particularly thinking of @Telepath and the Telemum

    For I, who thinks she will not see another Christmas due to cancer spreading

    Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers

    Prayers for and love to all.

    Thoughts with the family and friends of 2 volunteer firefighters who died SW of Sydney Thursday night. 5 were also injured at the same fire, 3 at the same time and 2 Thursday day. Simply tragic. The conditions around the country are terrible.

    (sadly, I know of someone in the volunteer brigade these firefighters were from -- I know his wife better)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Oh my goodness, Climacus - that's awful, especially at this time of year. May they rest in peace and rise in glory.
  • 🕯prayers for @Rossweisse's B.

    🕯prayers for the firefighters. May those who died rest in peace, and may their families and friends know God's close presence holding them. May the injured recover quickly. May the fires be controlled.

    🕯prayers for all above

    Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers.

    <votive> For D, whose shingles threaten her hearing
    <votive> For all affected by wildfires
    <votive> For all in need
  • Prayers for the family of the granddad I got speaking to on the train. His daughter committed suicide (he was on his way to Sydney to organise the funeral arrangements... among other things), and leaves behind 3 kids including one who is intellectually disabled.

    So sad.
  • Praying for the firefighters and their families - it was volunteers such as these who saved our house in 2017.
    Praying for the granddad whom Climacus met - such grief at this time of year
    For Lothlorien as her life nears its close
    For our friend L, who is home for Christmas before commencing chemo and radiation early in the New Year in the hope of defeating her massive cervical cancer.
    For all according to their need.
  • Reading and praying for all in need. 🕯
  • Please pray for all who make my father's funeral today and all who would like to but can't. Please also pray safe travel for G whose commitments will mean he sets off at the last minute to come to Dad's funeral.

    Thanks

    Praying for all in need 🕯
  • For all here, and elsewhere.
  • For Jengie, her family, and her family's friends.
  • Praying for those in grief at this time - @Jengie Jon and her father's funeral, @Climacus grandad-acquaintance and his family, and so many others.
  • <cute wee votive>
    Jengie
  • Candles for all, but especially @Jengie Jon
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Prayers ascending for all in need, especially Jengie and her family.
  • DooneDoone Shipmate
    Reading and praying for all.
  • Just made a bad mistake, praying it won't be consequential.
  • Need to get past a brainlock in order to give a truthful and positive report within the next hour.
  • 🕯🙏🏼👍✌️😇🎄☀️ of encouragement for @Telepath.
  • RossweisseRossweisse Hell Host, 8th Day Host
    <votive> For Telepath et al
    <votive> For D, whose shingles endanger her hearing
    <votive> For all in need
  • Thanks to all that prayed. Dad's funeral went well. The trip to the crematorium prior to the service was a short spell of stillness in the midst of the business. A time for quiet letting go. The funeral service was the old-style Reformed at its best with a congregation who could sing and a minister leading who knew what she was doing. Tea was splendid
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Glad to hear it, Jengie. Prayers continuing.
  • RossweisseRossweisse Hell Host, 8th Day Host
    I'm glad it went so well, Jengie. Prayers continuing from me, as well.
  • Good to hear, Jengie. I have found a well done funeral a great blessing. Prayers continuing for all.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Prayers continuing, especially for Lothlorien's soul, and for her family and all who loved her.
  • RossweisseRossweisse Hell Host, 8th Day Host
    <votive> For all mentioned here, on the Ship or elsewhere.
  • Adding my prayers, especially for clergy who are so stressed by Christmas but cannot say so. (Not all, I know.)
  • This sounds odd, but please can you pray that God takes one of the Poor cats that I help feed. This poor creature has no teeth, his nose and ears are eaten away by cancer, his balance has gone and he is obviously suffering. But we cannot catch him to have him put down as despite it all he is feisty and wily. Please pray he will find a spot to shelter and that he will die. Soon.
  • Praying for all in need. 🕯
