I just sent an email I felt I needed to send, but I am very nervous about how it will be received and responded to. Please pray that the outcome will be positive for all concerned.
Prayers for all here.

For Jack's interview to go well, and for Nicolemr's email to be read well.
And I am about to offer to miss my family Christmas in order to host my friend and his mother, who is a very difficult woman who hates me, so they have a day in a nicer place than she has made their home. I will need a tremendous amount of support to do this. I have seen her prove that Carabosse and Eris were phenomena that the people who heard those stories knew about. At the very least I shall have to spend the day with TV that I wouldn't choose to watch (because I am a Guardian reader and think I'm too good to watch the soaps like everyone else).
The whole idea was originally terrifying, but I am coming to feel that it is what I am supposed to do.

A young teenager whom I know of, has a very rare and aggressive form of cancer. Tumours in bones,heart and five in brain. The chemo is doing nothing to help because of aggression of the cancer. He is now on immunotherapy only, has had ports removed. He looks well, goes swimming etc but this is bad news.

Thank you to all who prayed for my job interview. I was very calm, felt well prepared and felt I came across well, which was great for my confidence (as it was a big difference from my previous couple of interviews!). As it happens, I didn't get the job, but I did get some very constructive feedback (again, unlike the last two), my current boss said nice things about them missing a trick not appointing me, and I'm not too disappointed. Am probably going back to Plan A (which, as it involves freelancing, will probably require prayers next year!!).

JtL, sorry to hear you didn't get it. Hope the free-lancing works out well for you for next year.
for all in need, especially Doone and Lothlorien's friend.
Of your charity, please pray for the soul of J., a friend of ours who died today after a long illness and a short spell in palliative care; for his wife E. and son S. and his family.
Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him.
There's never a good time to lose one's father, but when one is a church organist (as S. is), four days before Christmas is about as bad as it gets.

Doone, this morning I picked up a full basket of wet laundry from floor level so know a bit about back pain but thankfully it is not spasmodic - I hope you feel better soon.

That the cat in the box which is my friend's mother's decision about coming to me on Christmas Day collapses its wave function one way or the other soon. My sister needs to know if I am going over to her on Saturday or not. I need to know if I need to buy any more stuff - I've already got a teeny tiny turkey and veggies I might not need, because the shops are collapsing their supplies at an accelerated rate.
She has said no, but she has form for changing her mind at the last minute, and in this case may not realise the last minute is not Christmas morning. Nor late Christmas Eve. Nor early Christmas Eve. My friend has read signs that she may be going to do this.

And my prayer has been answered in good time for me to notify my sister, and to make sure I have everything I need - though not the pudding, since my guests have happily suggested that they will bring that.

And it's better than just Christmas Day, because it looks as though a corner has been turned allowing things to improve for them at home since I issued the invitation - which you may recall I was reluctant about. Whether the two are connected I can't say, but it looks as though God's attention has been drawn to them in a positive way.
Meanwhile, Aleppo, Mosul, and the families of Berlin whose Christmases will never be the same again.

For all suffering in any way--especially those having a hard time during the holiday season.
For a friend who is a miracle in many lives, and could use some shoring up and healing.
For me: dealing with health flare-ups, holiday lonelies, etc.
Thx.

Yup. Latest I heard is that Carrie Fisher, who became very ill on a plane (possibly a heart attack), is in an LA hospital, and stable.

The brother of an acquaintance of mine has been in a serious accident - he was hit by a train, and is in a critical condition in hospital. His sister, the girl I know, saw the accident.
for everyone involved: R., and his sister and family; the train driver, witnesses, medical people.
Lord, have mercy.

Christmas is always a difficult time for me. Some are better than others. This year feels particularly bad. It's not just about Christmas particularly but Christmas makes it feel worse. I can't get rid of the feelings of panic and hopelessness that well up when I think of the future.
All the (few) people in my life I could trust and/or talk to are no longer around. I've never had a real friend. Church isn't working. God has gone away. I'm getting older. I'm frightened of dying.
In the hope of becoming more involved in my church again I've agreed to do something I don't really want to do and don't think I'm capable of. And if I say I'm not going to do it I'm going to let everyone down as well as cut myself off even more.
Other Christmases when I've felt bad it's been a matter of getting through it and waiting to feel better but this year so much has changed I can't see any hope of ever feeling better.

We won't get the outcome of the case I was in court with this week until January. This is ok because nobody wanted the outcome to be given the day before Christmas Eve.
To give some context - I'm a children's social worker. When I go to court, it's almost always to say that I think a child or children would suffer massive harm should they remain with their birth parents. We then ask the court for what we think is the least worst option - in the UK, the typical least worst options are a child living with an extended family member or foster care or adoption. Even when I think foster care or adoption is the least worst option for the child or children (as in this case), I know that that will still involve enormous, devastating amounts of loss and pain to the child or children concerned. Hence, my request for prayers that God's will be done and that all involved can come to some level of peace and healing whatever the outcome is.
Thank you.

Pay no mind, I'm doing fine, I'm breathing on my own.
