I am in need of prayers for a cheerful heart. Today is my mother's birthday, and for months we have been planning a girls day out with a shopping trip (to the local thrift stores ) and lunch out. One of my sisters and her dd came in last night as a surprise and to go with us.
Anyway, dh had to go out of town unexpectedly on Wed and only got in at five AM this morning. He was home but sound asleep this morning, so the birthday caravan departed without me. Instead of lunch out, I have been doing laundry .
This is SO minor compared to all the concerns brought here for prayer, but it has thrown me into a cheerless frame of mind. Dh has travelled a lot lately, so I was completely looking forward to a day out.
I am offering up my small loss for all the intentions here.

Prayers that you can find some cheer and hope that you get your day out soon.

Dear Melinda, I've been missing my own dear mother, who passed away two years ago...her birthday is in May. I've been trying to offer up my own sorrows for everyone here, and for so many souls in need of prayer. Offering up extra prayers that you will somehow be blessed today, in spite of missing the special time you had planned with your loved ones! May the Lord give you special graces and joy today!

I know just how you feel. I'm sorry you had to miss the outing. It's hard to be a temporary single parent...although I'm sure your dh and children appreciate all you do for them.
Sending cyberhugs and prayers your way!

That is too bad. I'm so sorry you missed out on a special day ~ I pray that you've found cheer and delight in *something* today. Tomorrow will be brighter!

Aww! That is disappointing. But how good of you to stay and let your husband sleep!
You inspire me!
Praying our dear St. Joseph will smile down on you, and pray to God for an intention very close to your heart
