Hello Faith Pals,
Welcome to Friday.
I have attached the sermon and service for this Sunday, an ad for a Presbytery event about climate change, and a poem by John Wallace.
People who need our prayers: Alan and Fredrica need our prayers very much. Fredrica received a good report from her surgeon, but, unfortunately, Alan’s news was not so. His results are disappointing, his psa has increased by 50%. He is going for a nuclear scan of the body/bone to see how things are progressing.
We continue to pray for Rohini and Jaya. Rohini’s shoulder is still very painful, and she is now needing weekly physiotherapy.
John has been to the dermatologist, and has new cream and tablets. He had an ultrasound, because he had been feeling unwell. His liver is a little fatty, so he is managing that now.
My David is not well. We did a rush to Epworth Emergency on Tuesday morning (still quite a bit of traffic on the road at 3am and curfew!) He came home late Wednesday, but needs to be re-admitted after dialysis this afternoon.-hence the lateness of this email.
Remember the nursery rhyme ‘Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle…and the dish ran away with the spoon’?
Found this cartoon:
This was prompted by finding this advertisement when sorting out a drawer (the ‘sorting out’ is still on the coffee table! Has been since the first lockdown!)
The ad is for a 2014 calendar. On the front of the calendar is this letter:
‘Dear Fork,
I understand that we haven’t spoken since I ran away with Dish, but I thought you should know, you have a son.
His name is Spork, he has your hair.
Sincerely,
Spoon.’
‘God does not ask your ability, or your inability, but only your availability.’
