basic judaism

I’m in the midst of the holy city of Jerusalem and still believe that you are religious depending on how you treat other people and your own effort to be closer to G-D. Individuals who claim they are religious and look down at G-D’s other creations are  losing on one of the key aspects of faith. This may not be the traditionally path of such faith which leads to the correct avenue but you are just taking a different route. Maybe your route has more bumps on one end then theirs but it can smoother in some places as well.  So if others want to define you as less traditional that’s fine but don’t let them tell you’re less religious for know one has a one way phone.

You been sent on a mission only you can perform and time is a ticking. The real boss has determined that you’re the only one who can complete this task as the chief only truly knows your unique talent that you bring to the table but will you make it before the time elapses? Mission Impossible for others is mission possible for you and your life as well as the life’s of countless others maybe in your hands, mind or even soul. For you have been chosen whether you accepted this job directly or not. The good news is even if you screw up you’re probably going to get a 2nd chance but with an entirely cast, time and scene then you would in this life.

You have one best friend no matter who you, whom has been their from your 1st heart beat and will be there every beat after and beyond. This friend is one that will be there when you feel most alone and when your alone in a group.  A friend that will listen whenever you call and hears your cheers and tears.  Unlike most friends this one friend is patient with your missteps/mistakes and is still willing to lend a helping hand when others would walk away. You can even get angry with this best friend but this friend will still be there with a loving hand.   A friend that sees you at your worst and best and still can love you all the way through.  Like all friends there are times you don’t understand the reason for their actions but if you’re truly loyal and patient all will be revealed as a puzzle with missing pieces.  G-D is that friend have you opened your heart, body and soul to this one true friendship?

If one is to gain an aspect from faith that they can utilize in their daily life no matter where or what it is patients. For G-D has shown patients with us when most other’s would react in a more hostile way today and yesteryear.  Other’s would react with words or actions G-D has held us in peace and reflection so that we can find the true path to happiness.  They say we are made in the image of G-D so make this day start with more patients and take an extra breath it might lead to deeper calmer breaths in the future.

I often get asked on Facebook by basically a stranger to pray for someone who is sick or their loved one  but does it help? Does my or your one prayer help tilt the balance to a person’t recovery that we barely know, I believe it does.  I’ve read research that demonstrates that those who are prayed for do better then those who aren’t.  We may never know if our one prayer tilt’s the balance to full recovery but we can be assured that it helps in someway at least in the moment and even if you’re not a strong believer what can it hurt to try. For opening our hearts and souls to those that are suffering makes us more compassionate people and brings us closer to G-D who can truly make the difference.

We all have only one boss and it’s the same one for every living creature. This boss gives us much room in our job but we are still held accountable.  We have the creativity and a flexible schedule to fulfill our work load although it still must be done at the end of the day or another can truly take our place. Yet we have a distinct role that when we do it right earns us the a promotion that can’t be matched anywhere in the world. This boss gives us many, many chances and during even the worst of times provides us with the basic resources to keep going.  It’s time we take a moment to thank G-D apologize for our errors and continue to fulfill our position unlike anyone else has before. For the clock is a running and this boss is always looking with the love and support we can’t get at any other job.
