Reading, as always, and praying for all. I love this thread.
Please can I ask again for prayers for my three adult children.
Each of them is, in a different way, at a difficult place where important decisions must be made.
In the most serious case, health, and perhaps even life, is at stake.
Sorry, I feel I can't give details--I know it's easier to pray when you have something concrete in mind.
In my naïveté, I once thought the anxiety of parents ended when the kids grew up! But no.

For Meg the Red's elder kitty that her transition may be peaceful -- and no, i don't think it's not a small thing, Meg, having myself been blessed with beloved animal companions -- and for comfort and strength for you at this time.
For easing of burdens and good decision making for Gill H and Hugal
For a good appt for Starbug, with an understanding GI
for Cara's 3 adult children, in particular please God for healing for her child whose health, and possibly life, are at stake -- and for Cara at this for the strength she needs
For all with unexpressed needs

Thanks for your prayers for elderkitty, and for me and Mr. Red. We had her euthanized today, and we are in shock. She was with us through so many life changes, and I think the reason she resisted dying was that she was convinced we wouldn't have the sense to manage without her bossing us. She was probably right. ![[Tear]](graemlins/tear.gif)
Thanks to God for the gift of a big soul in a small kitty body

My job is making me ill. I'm going to give it the weekend, but am almost sure I'll be handing in my resignation on Monday without a new job to go to. I do have an interview somewhere else in the middle of next week. One of my best friends has been trying to advise me of the dangers of resigning without a new job to go to and how this could affect my future prospects, but I really think the alternative is worse.
I'm scared and incoherent.

I think I need to clarify this, if only for myself. Our lovely kitty died peacefully with me in attendance. We had intended to let her die at home, but when she began having seizures, we rushed her to the vet, who said the first seizure should have carried her off. She was a very determined little girl, always.
Just as one should never post drunk, one should not post when in shock. My apologies.

Prayers for all - specially Zoey. I've been in similar situations a few times (including in my current job). So far something else has come along, either a new job or new role before I sent in the resignation letter. Hope the interview next week is successful, I'd hang on till after it if you can.

I've been quite poorly with a whole host of nasty problems that are being addressed by my GP and specialists. I've pretty much been stuck in bed unable to move for weeks. Prayers would be much appreciated.

Thank you all so much for your prayers for my consultation this morning. When I got there, the receptionist couldn't find the booking so I was a bit worried, but she slotted me in to see the specialist. He was very good, listened to everything I said and answered my questions (even though I felt a bit silly asking some of them as I wasn't sure if they were relevant).
He's confirmed the decision to carry out a colonoscopy and I should get an appointment shortly. He implied that it'll be fast-tracked, due to my age and the fact that the symptoms have lasted over 6 weeks, which implies a risk of cancer. To be honest, I just want to find out what it is, so that I can start dealing with it - it's the not knowing that frightens me. The internet is a scary place if you start googling symptoms!
Thank you and Praise God for answered prayer. I feel more positive than I have in a long time. ![[Overused]](graemlins/notworthy.gif)

I have had a viral infection for 8 weeks now, and seem to have picked up on another one on top of the first one. I feel really unwell, but my GP seems to think that a steroid nasal spray and some cough meds will sort it. I'm not optimistic, but I'm not medically qualified, so what would I know?
Please, of your charity, pray that my body can see off these infections and that I can begin to feel well again...it's gone on for long enough. Plus I have quite a demanding job of work I front of me. Plus I am going to have to let someone down as a result of the illness, which I HATE having to do, but I can't see any alternative.

please pray for my son, who appears to have shingles. it's his final semester of senior year and he is very worried about missing a lot of school, but he's also crippled with pain. apparently it's rare for teens to get it; but he's just "lucky".
also for my dog, Duke, who may be nearing the end.

My mum had shingles in her fifties and Mrs Sioni's neice had it when she was five! It is so painful as it affects the nerve endings ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

News.
A leap of faith.
I have abandoned two probable permanent and secure job offers in favour of a provisional temporary-to-permanent job offer at the school I was interviewed for this morning. Monday sees me joining them for a trial week. At the end of the trial week, we will discuss whether we've both made a massive mistake or whether we might be looking at a permanent contract.
It just feels right.
Please God, I am making the right decision.

For all the work I have to do this weekend. I don't feel equal to it, but it has to be done.
Thinking of Meg the Red's Elderkitty. My 14-year old tabby is still holding his own, but he has been looking poorly and seems to be slipping into a slow decline. He may have a couple of years left in him, but I don't know. He's the last of his litter. There's another cat who loves him dearly, sleeps curled up with him, cries when he can't find him. He's Jonathan to his tabby David. I don't know what he'll do if/when his love passes over.

As I revealed to the Men's Group at my parish this morning, Z is not well: she missed a day of school this week and visited our gastroenterologist. He ordered blood tests and a cat scan. She needs our prayers, though she is not worried at all. Also, my friend Eddie, a former deacon, has a round mass in one of his lungs: he also is not worried at all though he faces certain surgery next week.
