Lily Cottage News

15th July 2026, Lord Jesus helped me with a road traffic accident this evening,

in our town centre, thank you for helping me keep calm Lord Jesus, in the midst of all the upset of everyone. It is so important not to move an injured person, as I expressed to the friends of the person who was injured, they were so upset and trying their best to help, he must be kept still, as he may have other injuries. I have pediatric first aid, that is totally out of date, so glad the young chap started to come round and started responding to me talking to him, while we waited for the emergency services to arrive, he wanted to sit up, which was wonderful to see, however I was not keen for this, he sat up, a nurse arrived with a first aid kit from a pub, we bandaged up his head, everyone should learn how to do first aid,

so they can help each other safely. 

14th May 2026, Two beautiful rainbows over our town late afternoon, heavenly.

Thank you Father God for all your  beautiful promises

in our bible, to keep forever with Lord Jesus Amen.

April 2006 Bought a purple heather plant for our garden, we have a lot of work to do on our garden,

trying to grow vegetables, in container pots, we have one lavender plant that is doing well,

and some parsley, mint and thyme that is ok, along with our strawberry plant that

grows every year for us, from our hanging basket,

and our cherry tree. My pear and plum tree are really doing well, have had them

for a few years now, a gift from my children for my birthday.

February 2026 England is flooding again, very badly in places, many wildlife

animals would not have coped with this and many may need help with loss of their

habitat that God provided them with. Our village did not flood, we had one day

and one night where a few roads were not accessible by car into our village, leaving

only one road to get through, Thank You Lord Jesus.​

2025 I purchased a very beautiful piece of sheet music,

for piano and violin to play for Lord Jesus, so happy to have found it.

I am very out of practice with my violin playing

and my skills on the piano are non existent at the moment, hope he likes it.

I learnt to play the violin at primary school, my mum very kindly bought it for me,

my music teacher brought it to class to show us all and asked if anyone

would like to buy it, as her daughter did not want to play it.

I told my mum all about it and was so excited to be able to buy it, 

I continued to play the violin at high school, my heart really was for the piano

by then, my violin teacher insisted I had talent in playing the violin, and he

stormed off to our headmasters office, to insist I was made to practice more. 

I was asked to play a piece for my  friend who played the violin with me and

was leaving school to go abroad, I was asked to

play it three times, it had to be perfect, it was my favourite piece of music,

it was slow my friends heart was for playing the guitar. After my divorce,

I found a student music teacher in the village where I worked, who liked to play

slow tunes on the violin, I was invited to play a stringed quartet with her

and fellow students at their very old tiny house,

that had belonged to a famous composer from the 1700's, we had

sandwiches for lunch in their little garden, such a beautiful sunny day.

I never thought to play songs for Lord Jesus on my violin.      ​

August 2024...​ A cake for a Summer wedding, this is made with a simple

plain sponge, with no butter cream, as weather too hot, so just using a apricot

jam filling, hoping to make this today and a Summer wedding bouquet.

 

​ A new idea on its way, "Heavenly" to put your bible in.

It took me five years to learn how to crochet, I only practised a few times over

those years, I decided to have one more try at it,

was not good and that was it, however I tried once more and got it,

 a very basic granny square, currently working on blankets for family​.

​​

​October 2023  Storm Babet, flooded our village very quickly and badly, we were given no warning 

about this and had no time to prepare. The river had burst it's banks, our roads became

like rivers and no transport could leave or get to us, I was unable to get back home from being in town.

Parents were telling me the challenges they had picking their children up from Primary school,

the water came up so quickly they said. ​We were in an extended drought for our area,

that could only be lifted if we had a significant amount of rainfall,

we were praying to God for rain, this is a blessing from God.

Our village has flooded twice more since storm Babet, not as badly though.​

My youngest son suffered a broken arm in a very awkward place, I was

not keen for him to have surgery on this. Our surgeon said he would have a crooked arm

for life without surgery, I was not keen for surgery, and our surgeon found a way

to put a weight in his plaster cast to help keep the break in his arm straight, our surgeon

was surprised to see on the X Ray at how quickly his new bone was growing,

to cover the break on his arm, Lord Jesus was helping.​​

​​​​​​

New vet arrived in our village, a lady said to me, that she saw a Deer

run into the vets car park, with her baby and the baby Deer was limping.

The vet was not there, they were still moving in to the old police station, we should keep

praying for them to Jesus if this happens and try not be sad. Lord Jesus will move

all kinds of animals in the wild, on land, in the air and in the sea, such as Elephants, 

Whales and Penguins, to where it is safer for them to be and he will

move them, to where they can hopefully have help from us, if they need it, and if

it is safe for you to help them, and try not get upset if you can not help them,

give them back in prayer to Lord Jesus.​ We can ask Lord Jesus for anything in

prayer to him in his name, he said, as we can read in our bible. ​I have asked

Lord Jesus in prayer for them to be in a beautiful place in heaven, we have so much

to look forward to, thank you Father God. Lord Jesus will also work on your pets,

to warn you of a medical problem, needing help with a doctor, or

something in the environment, such as an earthquake,

or floods or something in your home, many ways Lord Jesus will

try and alert you to help you, through animals and your children and to

help cheer you up also, to let you know he is with you, from heaven. ​

Tonsillitis, we had lots of adults and children, coming down with this in our village

very badly, one of my eldest son suffered very badly with this twice, the doctors thought

it was a virus, with his first time with this, the NHS direct nurse on the phone, said it was a

medical emergency, off to A&E, they said it was a virus and back home we came,

he had a slight rash on his chest and high temperatures mostly at night, back to the doctors,

it was a virus, on his 8th day of having this, I thought he was going to die. I was praying and praying

to God that morning, my son sat up in bed and said "I want something to eat," he was very weak,

I was so relieved, thank you Lord Jesus. I called the emergency doctor, his temperature

was slightly up and he had an infection in his ear, I asked if we could have some antibiotics,

I asked for some for my youngest son who's symptoms were a lot milder, they both slept

well that night. The NHS direct nurse helping me on the phone said, they

would not have let that go on longer than 3 days and antibiotics are the only thing

that can get a temperature down with that. You can ask your doctor to do a swab

test for this tonsillitis, it can be a bacterial infection or a viral infection,

 a mum in our village told me this, as her daughter suffers repeatedly with tonsillitis.

If it is a bacterial infection you are to have a 10 day course of a special antibiotic for it.

February 2008  We had an earthquake, in a very old cottage we were renting.

 I discovered on the news in the morning, that there had been a 5.2 magnitude earthquake,

that had affected nearly all of England and some countries abroad. Our house had a faulty

supporting wall, the builder working on it, informed me of, the house survived.

​​​​​Thank you Lord Jesus

 

 2005 ​Tried to make the special Passover meal, that Lord Jesus shared with his precious

disciples 2000 years ago, from the upper room in Jerusalem.

Jesus likes for us to remember him with this meal, we raced to the shops in our car to

buy everything, it poured down with rain and a beautiful rainbow appeared.

We still have our pretend wine glasses from this meal and continue to use them,

to share in this special passover meal, as we can read in our bible in the book of Luke.

Moved into a very old cottage​.​​

December 2002 Wedding plans called off with my partner, I sought my bible for help with this, and read

a page that I could not understand. My older sister gifted me this bible when I was 11 years old

I have made fabric cover for it. I eventually found a church in 2003 to help me 

with understanding my bible and sought Lord Jesus in prayer

for forgiveness in August 2006
