Message from TBE Men’s Club President Marty Solway
SOMETHING LOST SOMETHING FOUND
Something Lost Something Found can encompass a wide range and sweeping scope of emotional responses and feelings. The depths of the emotional impact upon a person will vary depending upon the person’s connection and attachment to another person or object. For instance somethings if not found can be replaced in kind, such as money. Other objects such as a cherished pet or jewelry which carry a sentimental and or monetary value elicit a greater sense of loss, as opposed to a memento, such as a lucky rabbit’s foot. The greatest sense of loss is associated with injuries sustained in an automobile accident which can leave you or a loved one in a debilitating condition. In this same category, serious health illnesses can alter you or a loved one’s lifestyle. Fortunately we live in an age where modern medicine can heal and restore a person to a healthy state. In all these instances, many times prayers will be invoked in the form of a plea to the Lord, to grant restoration of the lost person or objects. Should the request for restoration be granted and come to pass, we feel a strengthening of our connection with the divine.
Unfortunately, many times after the crisis has passed, we breathe a sigh of relief, and return to our everyday ways. Although our gratitude to the Lord is heartfelt and meaningful, our divine connection is gradually reduced and diminished over time. Two examples come to mind, first a cat has nine lives, and the second is the boy who cried wolf too many times to get attention, and when the wolf actually came, there was no one there to come and help attend to the boy’s safety and well-being. In other words, do not wear out your welcome. In essence there really is no need for a special plea to the Lord.
The Lord offers his constant protection to the chosen people with a caveat. Each day and night, live your life following and doing the Lord’s commandments, statutes, testimonies, and ordinances. Staying on this righteous path will serve everybody well.
With the High Holy Days fast approaching, this is a timely opportunity to strengthen your divine connection.
Shalom!
