A new thread for 2018.
Thank you to all who contribute so faithfully here.
Prayers especially for Wodders as he continues after the stroke. Restoration of his sight would be wonderful. I miss him here and also behind the scenes on Hosts board. I know many who miss him.

Please pray for the elderly (82) mother of a dear friend. Already frail from a fall some months ago when she hit her head, she was knocked to the ground in broad daylight in a city centre park by two men. They stole her handbag and left her traumatised, both from the assault and from a broken shoulder.

Just to let you know, the operation went well - TBTG - but some "suspicious" cells were found in the sentinel node. So some lymph nodes were removed and sent for analysis.
I have my next appointment with the oncology consultant on 26th January, when I should discover what the next treatment will be. Hoping that it isn't chemo, but if it is, it is. We'll deal with it.
I am remarkably grateful for an insurance policy taken out a few years back that pays a sum of money to cover lost earnings (as I'm self employed) Taking my usual travelling costs into account we'll actually be slightly better off with me not working! Also, 100% medical charges paid. That is a relief and a cause for thanksgiving!

My boyfriend broke up with me over New Year, after we had agreed I would move in with him. Probably need to leave my flat at the end of Feb and have nowhere to go atm.
Worse is the emotional trauma and the fact that it was unexpected. Looking back I can see how much this is my fault and ca't quite forgive myself for how badly I treated him. I wish I had a chance to put things right but I don't think that will happen.
Thankful for friends and for my job (which I feared for 8 months I would lose, but that's another story!).

In Cape Town we are fast approaching Day Zero when the city runs out of water in the worst drought in a century. All running water to households and businesses will be cut as early as 21 April. Which may be difficult but survivable for those of us able to install rain-water tanks and dry compost toilets, to buy bottled water or drive to water distribution points, but likely to cause tremendous suffering for those in poorer communities. Prayers for rain and skilful crisis management requested, many thanks.

In the midst of all these prayers for people in peril, and danger, and pain, could I ask your prayers for a joyous occasion:
The Convocation of the Episcopal Church in Europe is soon to be launching its search for a new Bishop, as our current B-i-charge, Pierre Whelan, has resigned. Please could you pray that God will prepare the hearts of those who are called to this process:
O God, we pray for the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe as we discern and elect a Bishop to serve your people, build up your Church and proclaim boldly the Gospel to the world. Send us, we pray, an Apostle who is a wise counsellor, a merciful pastor, filled with your joy and grace. May your servant have the abundant gifts needed to lead your flock and the strength and courage to administer them. And may we renew and rededicate our lives to your will and service. All this we pray in the Name of our Great High Priest and Servant of the servants of God, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Please pray for the Search committee, tasked with preparing the advertising, and the Transition Committee (I'm on that) who will be organising the pre-election, election and post election work, including the service of consecration.
Thank you.

Just for information, is the Episcopal Church in Europe the American equivalent of the C of E's Diocese of Europe?

Yes. Originally, there was a tsunami warning for California. (I presume that Washington and Oregon had one, too.) Fortunately, they realized it wasn't coming here.

A small thing - the ingrowing Episcopal Toenail is due to be surgically removed tomorrow (Thursday). I am a bit of a wuss when it comes to feet (though the chiropodist says I have a very high pain threshold), but would appreciate support as I cope with the Pain, once the anaesthetic wears off!

For local family stuff, which is ongoing with little sign of abating (insert "smiley" of choice).
I may have mentioned Mrs Sioni's profoundly autistic great-nephew who was permanently excluded from the special school he has attended since he was 5 (he's now 14). The school authorities have clearly taken on the wrong parents here: they presented their case to the city Mayor no less: he and his colleagues professed themselves appalled at the lack of provision and it looks like there will a Question in the House (a written one I expect) but this shows just how serious and determined they are.
Prayers would be appreciated for Z (the boy), his sister L and the amazing parents M & J

I am grateful to be safely home from the pilgrimage; my companions were a huge help to me. (Greece is lovely, but it's not the best spot in which to suffer from mobility issues.)

And we need some, as well. D's son has had a nasty infection that is going round. One of the visiting nurses had had something which sounds very like it, and recovered, but he has had a very disturbing effect of a limited and selective dysphasia - he is fighting to recall nouns, including names, in order to communicate what he wants to eat and drink, and I think I am going to have to persuade him into A&E when he wakes up again. D is not coping with this well, and has got very upset that he is blanking her out, which has got him worked up and his headache back. It has not been a good night.
I can't see how we are going to go forward from this.

Could I ask your prayers for my dad, who turned 93 today? He's at the stage of "end-of-life" treatments; he's begun to reject his peg-feeder and the nurses in the home where he's been for the last 3 years are talking about syringe drivers. It looks as if we're going to have to make a trip across the Pond sooner rather than later.
In some ways I'm not upset, because for the last year or two he's been "ready to go"; as he put it to a friend, he feels as if he's in a waiting room and has missed the bus. My mum died six years ago, and I think a good bit of his raison d'être died with her.

An urgent prayer request: a friend of ours who is suffering depression left his house at 9.30 this morning and hasn't been seen since. The police have been informed and he has been reported as a missing person. Please pray that Alun will be found and that he is safe.

Thanks, all. I think Mrs. S. hit it on the head about the lives both Dad and Uncle Pete lived, and I found myself feeling glad that Pete didn't have to suffer the cancer and its effects for too long.
As D. put it when I told him about Pete, he lived life to the very best, against all the odds, and never let his disabilities stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
Dad didn't have anything like the obstacles Pete faced, but like him, he filled his life with the things he wanted to do.
May they both rest in peace.

On top of the tragedies, sorrows and losses felt by so many a deal of family shit has come raining down. I could easily post in Hell on the Difficult Relatives thread but I have faith that Things Can Get Better. They may not Only Get Better, but with wisdom, care and love they may do so.
I do feel however that some will get hurt and as little ones are concerned I just hope it isn't them. My view is that adults should behave as such, desist from troublemaking for whatever reason known or unknown, deliberate or inadvertent, and give us the strength to protect those kids.
Thank you for your forbearance.
