Turbulent times WRAY BROTHERS MONUMENTAL “Are you settling in?” is a question I have been asked many times in the last couple of months. Change can be very stressful, whether it be moving house, changing jobs, Tel: 01253 392620 retiring, welcoming a new member to your family, going on holiday, adjusting to illness or disability, or losing a loved one. Sometimes we can plan changes in our lives, sometimes we welcome them and sometimes they creep up on us without no- tice.

I am pleased to say that I have been able to answer the settling in question with a definite “YES”! I am enjoying the relative peace and quiet of the beautiful villages and countryside of the parishes of Copp and Inskip. I have met many lovely people, received a warm welcome in churches, schools, shops, cafes and village centres and eaten more cake than I ought to! Knowing the language and having an insider’s knowledge of many Lancashire traditions has helped, as has the hospitality and help- fulness of many parishioners and villagers.

It was very different 20 years ago when I moved to East Africa for the first time with 51A Layton Road, Layton, my family. We had never been to Africa before and did not really know what to ex- Blackpool FY3 8EB pect. The heat, dust, poverty and noise all hit us and it took quite some time to adjust. We did receive help from many people, but we had to work hard to learn the language and customs of a very different place. Looking back, it was well worth the effort, as we made some wonderful friends and has some tremendous experiences, but the change was certainly stressful.

I was reminded of something that helps me through the changes in my own life as I read the story of Daniel in the Bible this last week. He was a young man who faced the stress of being forcibly removed from his home and sent into exile in another country. There he thrived, despite being far from home and facing opposition and hatred from locals who were jealous of his success. Some of them plotted against him and even had him thrown into a den of lions for refusing to obey an unjust law. Through it all, Daniel stuck to his principles and was filled with peace. He was able to do this because he trusted God, kept God’s word and prayed to him regularly (3 times a day, we are told in Daniel 6v10). As a result, God saved Daniel from the lions and blessed him.

When I have faced the challenge of change in my life, I too have found it helpful to keep to a regular pattern of reading God’s word and praying. In doing so I am reminded of God’s love for me (and us all) through Jesus and his concern for every aspect of our lives. It’s a discipline that I think we can all benefit from these days. We live in turbulent times and our country is facing changes which some people will welcome and others will fear. In our own lives, none of us know what lies around the corner. But if we trust God, read his word and pray to him, he will care for us and give us his peace.

With my love and prayers in Christ, Rev Paul Hunter - 3 - - 12 -
