Coping with change

As we come out of the global pandemic to a certain extent, our lives may never be quite the same. Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes “There is a time for all things, a season for every activity under heaven.” How do we know when it’s the right time for a change in life? Actually, the change may already be upon us, we just have to figure out how to accept it a live with it. More than that, we need to learn to thrive with it. A good place to start is with prayer, including those of others we love and respect. Also, we all need to be aware of our strengths and weaknesses and rely on help from others whose strengths fill in for our weak spots. Seek their advice. We needn’t rush into anything but rather be patient. Change doesn’t have to happen immediately.
