Excellent news David :-)

David ............ that is very good news.

That is such good news David! Hopefully a bit of rest will do the trick.

I phoned her ward very early this morning then again about 10.30 am.
Was told she was going for a scan and an X ray.
Early this pm they phoned me, said her heart is good, it's not Cardiac
so they were discharging her. An hour later an ambulance brought her home.
So very pleased to have her home <3 <3

Ellen used to be a nurse for many years, first at Sanderson's Orthopaedic Hospital until it closed, then at St Nicholas Hospital until she retired.

David I hope you have had better news by now, best wishes to your wife for a good recovery and to you also. Take care.

Rose

Thoughts and prayers for you both David.

Know how worrying it can be as my son has just come out of hospital
after his heart attack.

Have just nipped back on here as someone has messaged me about David.

David, I hope and pray that all goes well for your wife at this worrying time. Look after yourself. Love and prayers. Cx

Amen to your prayer for family and friends Kandj. As usual Cynthia is giving us food for thought with this week's posts. Thank you.

Thinking of David and Ellen. I hope Ellen is back home very soon <3

Hello all

Amen to your prayer for today Cynthia.

Thank you Pat for sharing this worrying news about David's wife.

My thoughts and prayers are with David and I hope Ellen is being well cared for in hospital and will be back home with him before too long xx

Picking up on the Friendship theme for today;.......

Heavenly Father,
Please keep my family, friends and loved ones safe.
Watch over them today, and let good health, happiness, and
Your blessings be upon them always.
Amen.

David came onto a thread I was on last night to say his wife Ellen was in hospital after a heart attack.

Thoughts for David and Ellen <3

Good morning :-)


Thanks everyone. <3

Seeking Godliness...…

Pray for friends to accompany you on the journey. Ask God to connect you with some good friends who are also pursuing spiritual growth so you all can encourage and support each other.

Lord, we thank you for the friends who share our Christian journey; those who support us; those who pray for us and those who love us. Help us to be supportive, prayerful and loving in return. Amen.

I thank you Rose <3

David, you asked "what's that all about" re Catholic/Protestant conflict , you may want to consider that through all history no religion or major branch thereof has acquitted itself well regarding "Thou shalt not kill".

Just a suggestion, perhaps you could start a thread for thoughts on History ( you're obviously interested and this is a genealogy site lol) and then you could add all the things that don't entirely 'fit' on this thread, eg the history of Ireland ( very complex ), and ancient Egypt etc.

That way you would get the benefit of more responses from a wider audience, and no doubt a thoroughly good history lesson from one or two posters...who might not ever venture on this thread or who do not wish to detract from the general flow of prayer that Cynthia manages to keep going. :-)

Wrong thread again David, when will you learn?

Words of wisdom Cynthia, thank you :-)

Good morning :-) This poster only mentioned Northern Ireland BECAUSE its

problems are opponents within Christianity. Not to annoy, upset or disrupt.

Good morning :-)

I am taking a very wide berth around the Irish issue and pressing on with thinking about Godliness :-D

Pray for the wisdom you need to follow the right path. Ask the Holy Spirit to renew your mind regularly so you can think about everything from God’s perspective, which will empower you to avoid wrong religious paths and focus on the right path that leads you closer to Jesus.

Lord, help me to choose the right path in life and to follow you all the days of my life. Amen.

David ..............

Please ................ the Christian thread is not the place to try to understand or rehash the Irish troubles.

We're none of us experts in Ireland, but there is still a lot of bad feeling over there as we found when we visited and stayed with people in both the North and South.


Please do try to understand where to post what, and what to post.

It's a topic that brings out a lot of different views David and very strong feelings. As someone with both English and Irish ancestry I try to keep a balance in my views on the history and what it has led to in terms of various atrocities on all sides.

In general it is important I think to keep moving on in life, be open to new things , try and see solutions rather than regurgitate the past injuries, of course that's not always easy, but it has to be reached for if we want a peaceful world?

Thank you for that Rose <3 In the 60's scores of people were murdered and bars

and homes blown up. The Loyalist march through Belfast on July 12th does

nothing but incite riots. The children grow up witnessing it and it continues. :-(

Anyone who could encapsulate the history of conflict in Ireland in a few sentences would as they say "be a better man than I am Gunga din".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Boyne

Memories are long of many wrongs done over many centuries, both sides have moved mountains in trying to make a lasting peace in the last couple of decades. It will take longer.

I'd like to say I pray for peace, but I only hope for it, and try not to be too hasty ;-)

The Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen
