Yomim NoRaim

The Yomim NoRaim are approaching real fast. Can you believe Rosh Hashanah is in just a mere four days away? The day Hashem judges us and writes the upcoming year for us. Our future. The one we always try to plan and keep forgetting that we are not the Master Planner. We forget that there is a Planner whom we cannot see who controls the strings and the way things turn out. We forget. Now is the time to remember. To plead with the Planner Himself for what we want.

How we neglect to realize that what we want might not be good for us. We think we will be happy with it. We feel we deserve more because look at our neighbors, they have the good life, the luxuries they don't even realize. I would treat it better. If I had that, I would never do such a thing. Of course not. But do you realize that what you have and your neighbor does not, they are doing the same to you. Looking at what you have and how if they had it, would be much better at it. Of course. We don't have that nisayon. We don't have that luxury just yet.

Patience. Tefilos. Tears. Kavanah. Meaningful prayers are needed. Daven for your neighbor before yourself. Daven that they have all the good and that you wont have green eyes on them. Daven for a healthy family. A whole family. A wealthy family. For all the good should fall on them. And for yourself, Hashem knows what you need. Hashem cares for you too. Hashem loves you. There are no favorite children here. We are all one. We are all Hahsems favorite. We all get what we deserve.

What we deserve. In whose eyes? Who is doing the calculation? Who is judging? We mortals do not know what is going on with the books. There is no accountant there saying what is equal or not. No lawyer fighting for an equal share. Just us mortals down below who think we know what is equal. What is fair?

Do we forget that this is Olam Hazeh. Not the ultimate world? Do we need reminders that this is not permanent? Do we need petches? What do we need to keep us on our toes that Moshiach is on His way and we need to be ready? What is important to us? Where are our suitcases packed and waiting for redemption? If they are not ready, do we really believe? Do you really believe?...
