Do you have daily disappointments? You went to your hairdresser and she did not show up, the beauty shop owner told you she died! Or did you go to your shop and she did not show up and did not give a reason, you washed your hair the night before so she could cut your hair today, but she did not even show up for work.
Were you expecting mail and it never came? Someone sent you a beautiful postcard but it never got to your door. Snail mail it is called, but someone smashes this snail, and you never receive it. A disappointment. Wanting what is yours and never getting it.
Wanting to please someone but she is never pleased. Trying day after day to meet someone's expectations of you, for her to be your catalyst, but she cannot be there for you except in your imagination. Thinking of her all the time, sharing in her sadness, getting a head cold when she has allergies. Sharing in her life even though she is miles, centuries away, and it is about a mother/daughter relationship that becomes a father/daughter relationship instead, at the mother's request. Disappointment, needing your Mom and wanting your Mom, imploring God to keep her safe and sound. Hearing the sadness in her voice as you did the sadness in her Mother's voice (your Grandma's) and wishing, praying, beckoning God to take her sadness away. Having sadness with her because she shares it with you.
Having a day with God, petitioning God to stop her sadness and to stop your sadness. Feeling a rejoice-ful mood as you have a song in your heart, to sing even when there is no music, to overcome disappointments of your heavy heart with a dance in your step.
How to get this dance? Just ask God for it. Repeat after me. "Baruch Atah Adonai."
Yep, that is all we need to do. There now! Do you feel the happiness? Ask Him to save you. Say "Hashkiveynu, Adonai." This means "Help us, Adonai."
Now, it is all in His hands. Let God take it from here. Thank God and love God. Now you are saved.
