Stories from the café…
This is your page, your chance to swap light-hearted news, views and gossip from everyday life: please blog us stories you have heard or overheard which would be useful or entertain others.
Every day we witness a good deed, meet an extraordinary person, or hear something interesting which we can’t wait to pass on to our best friend.
Such as the woman on the number 10 bus to Hammersmith (if it was you, please let us hear from you), giving a pep-talk to her friend on her mobile:
“Some people are jealous, they don’t like to see other people moving on. But you have to give yourself to the Lord and stay calm – Psalm 6 is the one to read.”
Here is Psalm 6:
O Lord, do not rebuke me in your
anger,
or discipline me in your wrath.
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am
languishing:
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are
shaking with terror.
My soul also is struck with terror,
while you, O Lord – how long?
Turn, O Lord, save my life;
deliver me for the sake of your
steadfast love.
For in death there is no remembrance
of you;
in Sheol who can give you praise?
I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
My eyes waste away because of grief;
they grow weak because of all
my foes.
Depart from me, all you workers
of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of
my weeping.
The Lord has heard my supplication;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
All my enemies shall be ashamed and
struck with terror;
they shall turn back, and in a
moment be put to shame.
