Dear Vera

So very sorry to hear this news.

I respected Kandj highly for the way she looked after her husband.

My deepest sympathies to Kandj and her family.

God bless them.

With much respect
Love Elizabeth, EOS

I have learnt from another thread the very sad news that Kandj’s husband passed away yesterday. I hope she and her family can find comfort in the knowledge that he would have died knowing how very much he was loved. No-one could have done more. I send my condolences and pray that her faith will sustain her through this difficult time.

I won’t pm her as I wouldn’t want to intrude while she is grieving, but if you are in touch Cynthia please tell her that she and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Good morning :-)

A possible New Year's resolution.......


Pray more and harder

Admit it or not, there are days when we pray just for the sake of not forgetting to thank the Lord for His blessings. However, our talk with God should be more meaningful than this. Prayer is our only line of communication to God, which means that we should take our time with it and make the most out of it too.

As long as we pour out our hearts and minds to the Lord, that makes a good prayer.


Love to all Cx :-)

Good morning :-)


Suggested New Year resolution No. 3

'Say grace before meals.'

Saying grace before meals reminds us that above all food is a gift. It’s a reminder that we are nourished and cared for by divine and human hands: and by the labour of bakers and bumblebees. It brings to mind that there is enough food for everyone in this world if it is managed correctly.

Just a simple ‘Thank you God for this food’ serves as a reminder of God’s goodness.


Love Cx :-)

Suggested New Year resolution No. 2

Attend church regularly.

Why?

Because the bible instructs us to be in relationship with other believers. If we are part of Christ’s body, we need to fit into the body of believers.
The church is where we come together to encourage one another. God wants us in fellowship with other believers. There is no such thing as a Lone Ranger Christian.



Love to all Cx :-)

A very Happy New Year to you all. May 2018 bring us all peace and strength to cope with whatever the year throws at us.

You must be feeling very stressed and exhausted so thank you for taking the time to post Kandj. I hope this coming year is a better one and that your husband will start to recover very soon. You remain in our thoughts and prayers. <3

Hello all

Popping in to wish everyone a very Happy and Contented New Year in 2018.

Helen went back to Durham yesterday to join her little family for the new year, and will be back again this coming weekend. Her Dad still isn't very good, but we are taking each day as it comes and finding the spiritual strength to cope from the little chapel inside the hospital. An oasis of peace and quietness away from the busy ward.

Thank you for all your ongoing prayers and kind words, it's brought tears to my eyes. XX

Good morning :-)

A very happy new year to you all........I admit to going to bed at 11pm. :-D


I wonder how many of you have made New Year’s resolutions?

For this week, we will take a look at some Christian resolutions which you may like to consider……

Read and study the bible more – maybe 20 minutes each day.

Why?
It makes us wiser.
It helps us to overcome sin and temptation.
It gives us peace and direction and builds our relationship with God.
We learn a little bit of history and learn to understand Jesus better.


Love to all and thinking of kandj Cx :-)

Prayers and thoughts for Kandj, her husband and family and all in need of support at this time <3

Good morning :-)


The Collect (special prayer) set for today:

Almighty God,
who wonderfully created us in your own image
and yet more wonderfully restored us
through your Son Jesus Christ:
grant that, as he came to share in our humanity,
so we may share the life of his divinity;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

The Gospel set for today re-tells the familiar story of the Shepherds and ends with Jesus being taken to the temple to be circumcised.


Loving thoughts to you all. Cx

Thank you for that update Cynthia x

Also that quote from HSR.

Thoughts and prayers for all in need of comfort.

Good morning :-)


A quick note from kandj tells us that she is absolutely exhausted but continuing on with caring for her husband. Holding them both in thoughts and prayers.

Bless us Lord, this Christmas, with quietness of mind;
teach us to be patient and always to be kind.

Holding kandj and her husband in my thoughts and prayers x

Good morning :-)


Continuing through this festive season, we remember that.......

Christmas is the sparkle of anticipation and the steady light of faith in the eyes of a little child as he hears the old, old story.

Christmas is the shining star of hope in the sky of all mankind.

Christmas is more than words can tell, for it is a matter for the heart to re-ceive, believe and understand.
- Unknown


Still no word from kandj.........love to all. Cx :-)

Good morning :-)

No news from kandj since we knew about her husband being re-admitted into hospital. We continue to hold them both in our prayers.

We are still in the Christmas season and continue to remember what it is all about...


Christmas is "peace on earth" for those who accept it and live in unity with God's will.

Christmas is a gift of love wrapped in human flesh and tied securely with the strong promises of God.

Christmas is angelic music in the form of a carol and oratorio with a celestial descant.

Christmas is "Glory to God," "Good will to man," and "Joy to the world."


Love and prayers Cx :-)

Sorry to hear that kandj hubby is back in hospital <3

My thoughts and prayers are with them x

Good morning :-)


Yes Vera, kandj's husband was re-admitted to hospital on Christmas Day. Possibly pneumonia or heart attack, they are not sure till the tests are done. Fortunately, the family were visiting and so she does have their support bless her. God bless them. We continue to hold them all in our prayers. <3

A gentle prayer for today :

Lord, you know what it means to be vulnerable
A fragile young life, a defenceless young babe
So may my heart be vulnerable and open
to you this Christmas, walking closer each day by your side. Amen.


Cx :-)

I understand our dear Kandj’s hubby is back in hospital Keeping Kandj, her OH and their family in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong <3 <3 <3
