they often aren’t ready to be helped because it’s not the right time. It can be exhausting living like this. Moses was becoming exhausted because he personally handled every problem, dispute, and crisis that arose among the Israelites. Perhaps he thought he had to do so, since he was the leader of the nation. But his father-in-law advised him to ‘select capable men from all the people…and… have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves.

will share it with you’ (Exodus 18:21-22 NIV). Sometimes we have to admit that we can’t do everything ourselves. We need other people to take some of the weight. We can’t solve everything, and be everything to everyone. It’s important that we ask God to help us decide when we should commit ourselves to helping another person, and when we should step back and commit the situation to God. Source: The word 4U 2Day.

THE BIBLE Fixers ‘If you follow this advice…then you will be able to endure the pressures.’ Exodus 18:23

Ever felt like other people’s problems seem to take up a lot of your time and headspace? People who care a lot about others can often become ‘fixers’. They start to feel responsible for sorting things out for people, and want to fix all their situations. The Bible does say that we need to bear each other’s burdens (have a read of Galatians 6:2), but we also need to be careful that we aren’t trying to put ourselves in God’s shoes. God is the ultimate ‘fixer’. He knows exactly what’s needed to help each one of us. He knows the best timing to help us learn and grow in an area. When we try to fix others,

Little Holbrook, 56 Brookley Road, Brockenhurst, SO42 7RA An understandable and often common concern is the cost of a funeral and we promise to ensure all clients are fully aware of all the choices open to them; from the most elaborate and involved services to the most simple. It will also be ur policy not to c arge families who find themselv s in the dreadful position of losing a child up to and including the age of 18 years.” Mic ael said, “Some pe ple may wonder why my name isn’t ab ve he door with M ria’s but to be hon st I think she deserves that recognition because what she does is unique and although I am a qualified fu er l direc or, Maria has an inbuilt instinct to not only person lise a funeral in ways that bring comfort to the bereav d but demonstrates a level of care and support second to none. For families she has served before, they will know exactly what I mean.”

Our family serving your family Telephone 01590 622981 Through acquisitions and mergers, the family moved from London to Buckinghamshire, Winchester, Lymington and finally to Brockenhurst where Maria was the funeral director at R. Hallum, owned by the Co-op. Maria said, “Many people thought Hallums was my own business because we lived there and were always available. Michael was part of the senior management team at the Co-op at the time and was often away but when he retired in 2016 my role was to change and it was then we decided it was time to open our own business. Our aim here is to offer a service which has total continuity, we will not for instance transfer our telephones to a call centre at 5pm; they will be answered by ourselves 24 hours a day. Funeral arrangements will be made by me, with families either here at Little Holbrook or at the family home whichever is preferable to the family. On the day of the funeral it will be conducted by me and that support will continue until such time as the family no longer need us. We will also offer masonry services with realistic prices and completion times and pre-paid funeral plans.

Maria Jones is pleased to announce the opening of her new funeral home in Brockenhurst located in premises which were previously Robert Bruce Hairdressers, behind Spencer’s Estate Agents. Maria said, “It has been very difficult to find the right premises but the wait has been worth it and we feel fortunate to be now in a position where we can offer an independent local family service”. Maria will be assisted by her husband Michael, who between them have 55 years experience in funeral service, working in the past for large companies including former royal funeral directors, J H. Kenyon. Michael said, “We were privileged in London to serve not only the rich and famous but also those who didn’t have anything or anyone, sometimes not even a name which meant that often only ourselves and a minister would gather around the grave.”
