Beyond the sunset,
O glad reunion,
With our dear loved ones
Who've gone before;
In that fair homeland
We'll know no parting,
Beyond the sunset
For evermore!

Cynthia, family and friends <3

Hello all

Ongoing prayerful support for Cynthia and her family

Lots of concerns with more heavy rain and flooding in many areas. A huge worry for all affected and a good reason to be thankful for all the services involve

Thankful Thursday

Wake up knowing that............
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
These six little words, will get you through..........
Whatever happens, I can handle it (with God's grace)

Stay safe everyone.

<3 <3 To you all, especially Cynthia and family.

God didn’t promise: days without pain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain, but He did promise: strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way. (Unknown Author)

I don't really follow this thread, but have looked in from time to time as Cynthia is such a lovely lady.

I am so sorry to hear your sad news, Cynthia, sincere condolences to you all, family and friends.

Good morning :-)


Here I am and so very touched by the messages and prayers you have sent me. Thank you <3

It has been quite a week as I am sure you can imagine. I have waded through paperwork and phone calls but comforted by the number of cards that are arriving. The funeral is arranged for next Friday morning. I press on, support by family and friends........thank you. <3


Dear God,

You have given me such wonderful blessings. I am rich in so many ways and aware of your love for me. I am so grateful for such lovely friends and family, for their warmth and their love and support. I am blessed by the beauty of your creation that I enjoy each day. And I am so thankful for the grace you have poured into my life, for your truth that guides me, your hope that leads my heart and your love that dwells in my spirit.

I am surely rich
And so thankful.

Hello all

A lovely surprise and pleasure to read your post Cynthia. Still a long bereavement road to travel, be assured of the thoughts and prayers of many on here

O Lord,
Day by day,
Three things I pray,
That I may see you more clearly,
Love you more dearly and
Follow you more nearly,
Day by day.
Amen.

Thinking of you and your family -

I am sure we will all be with you in thought next Friday - your GR friends will be there for you, when you need us.

Continued thanks for your lovely thoughts and prayers <3

God,
In our journeying with you,
it is your hand
that stops us stumbling
or slipping on the path,
your word
that keeps us growing
and builds upon our faith,
your power
that grants endurance
whatever happens next.
Thank you
for joys discovered
and blessings received
in our journeying with you.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Cynthia and her family on their grieving path ahead.

TODAY IS TRANSFIGURATION SUNDAY

The Collect (special prayer) for today…

Almighty Father,
whose Son was revealed in majesty
before he suffered death upon the cross:
give us grace to perceive his glory,
that we may be strengthened to suffer with him
and be changed into his likeness, from glory to glory;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.


The gospel tells the story of The Transfiguration of Jesus.

Thank you Cynthia for continuing to post at such a difficult time. You and your family are in my thoughts. God bless <3

Hello all

I'm also thinking like Vera and although pleased to see Cynthia's post, I hope she is now learning to think of herself a little more and others a little less.

Immortal, invisible God only wise,
In light inaccessible, hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

A great favourite old hymn of mine and the first one sung in our church this morning. A good way for me to begin another God-given day today.

Happy Sunday blessings to all who look in today.

I was reminded of a few lines of verse

Christ before us
Christ behind us
Christ the left of me
Christ to the right of me
Christ within me

forgot the rest.
