Thanks again for prayers, friends. I have now arrived back home after some very long days. It was a great experience, but I am tired, and there’ll be no rest until we get past the 4th.
Glad it was a good experience @Nick Tamen, you have been in my thoughts
Prayers for all here, catching up with posts
Please pray for us in South Africa right now, the xenophobic ignorance, bigotry and violence is horrifying. I have never felt so ashamed of my local community's volatile reactions and police ineptitude.
For all in need of prayer, for all struggling with faith
Mrs Sioni’s knee continues to give her pain but the physio did send her for an X-ray so she filled in the form and did it straightaway. Thank God one only has to complete the form and turn up. They will send the results to our GP in a couple of weeks.
She has also signed on for a hydrotherapy course and as she can drive ok, she has booked a few sessions.
No further strong painkillers, but she is keeping one back, just in case.
It’s breaking me up seeing her like this. I have to rely on her too, but like her sisters and her late mother she gets on with it. Is it wrong to say a woman is tough?

As it happens, one day this past week, the stated clerk read to the Assembly a letter she had received the previous evening from a partner church in southern Africa—I’m afraid I can’t recall which one—about the situation in South Africa. We did pray for you.
As tomorrow, July 4, is the United States 250th anniversary, ona Saturday, with lots of things going on that have an uncomfortable, nasty political edge to them and lots of things going on that have a whole massive number of people perhaps larger than we might have in other years, please pray for: everyone to be safe. Because (apart from people blowing up their fingers or causing accidental fires, or drinking and driving) this could be a very scary opportunity for scary people with weapons to start doing horrible things with those crowds. For the animals who are affected by fireworks, whether pets or wildlife (please keep pets indoors). For the country to (please, dear Jesus, please save us and help us from this nightmare) get better somehow.
Amen!
Mrs Vole is tough, like Mrs Sioni (-and of course millions of women in this world rife with discrimination) -so tough I often forget to pray for her...
Just heard from daughter, mother of beloved Little Beaky/ Huxley:
En route to hospital as he’s been screaming in pain and his rib on one side is protruding in a way I've not seen before.

Update is that the rib is no longer sticking out. Like many children with cerebral palsy his muscle tone puts huge stress on his skeletal system and it's very painful. He is awaiting an appointment with his specialist but for now can go home once his pain is fully under control. Typically, he was all smiles for the doctors as he appears to have the opposite of white coat syndrome! 😆
Thank you for praying
(((Huxley)))
Mrs Sioni spent most of the afternoon sat on the bedroom floor sorting out stuff that has been there since we moved in maybe six years back.
She was also waiting for and praying a bit about a call from the doctor about her poorly knee. The radiologist has diagnosed “Severe arthritis” so the doctor has referred her to an orthopaedic surgeon pronto. We don’t expect anything in the short term but we regard this as a win. She will need a way to handle the pain and stiffness in the meantime.
We have a cruise coming up in November but we can take that easy and we don’t take it as mandatory to go ashore.
What a horrible scare @MrsBeaky ; I hope Huxley is home and comfortable now. Praying for you all and also for Mrs SS.
Thank you, to you and all who have prayed.
Huxley is back home but they've identified a serious problem with his muscle tone now actively damaging his skeletal system.
He has an appointment this week at the hospital in London where all his consultants (ortho, gastro, respiratory, neuro!) are based to try and sort this out as he is suffering.
So your prayers are very much appreciated.
Please pray for Miss RR and her partner A. Miss RR is having a battery of medical tests -endocrinology, 70 hr ECG and others to try to diagnose a long standing condition that looks like long Covid or glandular fever but isn't. Miss RR is exhausted and frustrated and even finds it difficult or impossible to talk to her worried father. Lord have mercy!

Please pray for both Scott and Craig. I knew Scott in high school and we were best friends at one point back then and we’ve been in touch ever since I’ve reconnected. Craig died today (cancer-related) after they were together for 41 years. Scott is devastated.
I'm having pretty severe pain today (no reason, it's just part of the syndrome I was born with) and there isn't any medication that will work on it. I'd be grateful for your prayers...

Thumbs up!
Plus a sick and elderly cat owned by Ryan.
🕯🕯🕯
Both cats are improving!! (Please keep praying though. Nichole’s daughter is now also sick.)
Please pray for Tim H., who is going through a host of troubles all at once.
Thanks!

And for our much-missed Telepath.
Ditto. What’s the latest on @Telepath and Telemum?
And for an acquaintance who has lost her purse.
