ALONG OUR TRAIN RIDE OF LIFE
Mankind has been shocked beyond belief after the collapse of a pathway during Lag B'omer celebrations, killing many youngsters, young teenagers, adults, all who had so much Emuna (faith) in G., enjoyment of the moment to be in Miron, close to G. Hashem. It has been a harrowing unbelievable experience, and my tears flow without stop.
They were all 'healthy' functioning, believing people in G.s ways, fulfilling the ultimate dream, to dance and rock together in such a holy place. But there comes our famous saying in life:
MAN PLANS AND G. DISPOSES.
And so we cry for all of those families, we cry for ourselves, for our pain and losses.
We all need faith, EMUNAH. G. has HIS PLANS.
We can hope, we can pray, we must accept. In one of our opening daily prayers, we say: Modeh Ani, I thank you, O Lord. Your wonders are.......
In the book, the sefer of Devorim, it says: Choose life. U'vechar bechaim'!
Crying is normal, sometimes it even helps to give us hope once again. Negativity will give us constant 'downers'. Let's pray for all those who lost loved one, mothers, father, brothers, sisters, friends; we pray for for our loss of total understanding of how G. rules this world.
Again, we all simply resort back to: 'modeh ani, lefanecha', thanking the one above for restoring us each day again; we are not perfect, our health is not perfect, but we are here on earth for now. Can we rise above the not understandable, and give love, hope, friendship, help to others and to OURSELVES? We each have great challenges, now more than at other times. A smile can make us feel happy, despite the situation!
I pray for us, for others, for mankind to somehow cope with G.'s plans. We are but instruments in His hands, instruments that have the ability to accept what we must, to be an angel of G. and help others ,in deed, in friendship, in the hope that we will see and feel good moments in life yet.
G. bless until next month!
