Pause For Thought
I recently conducted an outdoor blessing ceremony for some newly-wedded friends of mine. It was like a festival. They filled a farmer’s field with food and drink stalls, live bands and a spinning fairground ride that sent guests running to the portaloos. A bouncy castle and a free ice cream van added to the fun. And that was just for the adults. It was an unforgettable day. One brimming with laughter and unforgivable dancing.
I was so happy and relieved for my friends. They’d endured such bad luck and disappointment. Moving house and starting a new hospitality business - just weeks before Covid happened. And repeated postponements of their big day and honeymoon. Yet what struck me was how they coped with it all. Not with complaint or panicked despair - although I’m sure they had bad days. But with a positive, cheerful and hopeful attitude.Ìý‘It’ll be right,’Ìýwas their lovely Yorkshire-tinged mantra.
I took inspiration from their example when we had to cancel our family holiday last month. Well, IÌýtriedÌýto. We were gutted. It was hard not to fume and complain about the sun-kissed Mediterranean beaches we wouldn’t be lying on. Coping well with disappointment is a hard life skill to master. For me anyway. I find it all too easy to become chewed up and irate when things go wrong or get complicated.ÌýI’ve been learning from the wisdom of the so-called ‘patron saint of the disappointed’ - John Henry Newman.ÌýA giant of the Christian faith.ÌýHis life was full of crushing lows and backward steps.ÌýYet he used them to grow his inner life and improve his state of mind.Learning to stay patient and amiable in the face of disappointment.ÌýIt made all the difference. Strengthening his resolve. Deepening his faith. And helping him to savour life’s lovely times.
I tried to channel my inner Saint John on our quickly rearrangedÌýholiday - to the bracing Yorkshire East Coast. I wasn’t exactly singing renditions ofÌý‘Summer Holiday’Ìýas we drove there. Not with the windscreen wipers on full speed and our twins clawing at each other in the back. But we got there - and weren’t disappointed. Grateful for the refreshing sea, haddock and chips and penny arcades. It wasn’t quite Andalucia, Zoe - but definitely good for the soul.
