Yes Way – A Happy Ending-Spiritual Journey

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

It’s not my time or place but the truth is you are not writing the script.  How could I get this part in life when there are so many more talented people, yet you are not the casting agent? The truth is we don’t know our parts in life and just when it seems we are written out we are standing on center stage. Moses according to the book was not the spokesperson of his time and was so humble it appeared leadership was out of his realm, yet G-D had an entirely different plan.  Your book is still being written so keep trying your best and leave the rest to the greatest author of all our lifetimes G-D and you’ll never know where the pages might turn.

Barrier

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

It is the separation from the world “we live in” and the actual world we put ourselves in.  Sometimes our barrier is so thick, tall, and strong that we just forget it is there and keep walking.    Other times we need someone to cut through a layer so we can peer through.  It’s scary to see a reality that is far from the distance we’ve been walking so many will try to not look at any of the cuts straight on and pretend the barrier still exists. Layers get built around the hole so over time the individual can hardly peer through again.   G-D knows though for those daring enough to break through starting on the 8th what they eventually see is out of this world!!!

Chosen People

Much has been made of the “Chosen People” phrase in the bible, as it relates to my tribe the Jewish people. Yet let’s face it according to the good book G-D personally directly played an intricate role in our steps to freedom which means that we have been chosen to do more “work”.  Let’s face it when someone buys you a coffee you feel a bit obligated to buy them a coffee back imagine now how much more you’d owe it G-D almighty stepped in and saved your entire people.  I believe that is why we continue to be Chosen and as such we must be more careful then others to continue to make the right choice from food to days off and all the intricacies in between. Chosen can be very complicated to say the least.  That is why many times my fellow tribesman have said “maybe you could take a break and choose someone else for that bacon looks really good”.

FOOTNOTE- I hope G-D has chosen me to a have a bit of sense of humor on this topic as well.

Chosen Path(s)

Different Paths 2

Could all good humans be the chosen people(s) in one of the steps they take which another has walked across? Maybe their faith path appears more bumpy or crooked then ours but somehow leads to another part of the beautiful forest we can’t see from our route?  It is interesting that over 2 Billion people start out following the same path (Christian, Jews and Muslims) as our ancestors come from the same starting path and therein turn could the beginning be enough to get us to a good ending even if it might be at a different spot?  Some might appear to be chosen at one spot only to trip over another spot and then get back on their journey. In the end I believe if we follow these basic rules (below) our chosen peoples will come to the happy, peaceful ending we all earned.

(1) FAITH- Observe the route you’ve been given not forsaking it for fame, fortune or glory.

(2) RESPECT- Understand other journey’s might be quite different from yours and until you’ve heard it directly understand there is only one who can judge.

(3) SPEAK UP- Although you should respect others path it doesn’t give you an excuse to remain silent when you think it could hurt them at any phase. Speak up in a polite and understanding way that states your route without forcing anyone to take those steps by any means.

(4) FORGIVENESS- Forgive yourself and others for not walking or falling down.

(5) SEEK- See the goodness in others even those that are walking miles and miles away especially those who haven’t looked in the mirror.

(6) HUMBLE- Be confident enough to walk not walk over.

(7) PRAY- So you’re falls will only make you stronger, the path will be clearer, and others from all other routes will reach a happy, peaceful and successful ending.

Shabbat Extra’s

Shabbat Candles

There is bit more extra’s of life during Shabbos then you have during the rest of the week. For on this day you have a bit more (lot more) time to enjoy and appreciate then you have for the rest of the 24 hour days. Here are some added benefits  that are an addition to anyone’s life (below) and those around you.

(1) AFFECTION- This is the day hello’s can be longer then goodbye’s. Where a handshake can turn into a hug.

(2) READ- You have much more time to read and discover new worlds right inside your own house.

(3) BREATHE- You can actually take the time to breathe in and smell the snow. It’s been a long winter.

(4) SLEEP- Yes even the most observant can catch up on a bit more rest time.

(5) TASTE- Food can actually be chewed before it’s swallowed and the taste can linger (hopefully a good one) with you way past the time you swallowed it.

(6) THINK- What really is important? Why are you here? What does G-D expect of me? What did they actually put in that Chicken Soup?

(7) LISTEN- Absorb all the noises around you even the one’s your loved one’s make.
