Perspective

It's been an interesting week. One hell of a ride, to put it mildly.

I've prayed a lot and G-d has helped me gain some insight. None of which I will share with you, my dear reader.

I went to lunch with a precious friend I don't spend nearly enough time with, got my hair done and reconnected sweetly with another friend from whom I had drifted. I spent oodles of time discussing life, love and issues of godliness with my husband and I talked for an hour with my dad.

Reality.

Life is not defined by what the majority thinks or the loudest voices shout. Life is defined by what G-d thinks and what His word says. We should always be careful to heed most earnestly the words of those who truly know us and love us wholeheartedly anyway.

Therein lies the kernel of truth which gives me the greatest hope and assuages the confusion and hurt within.

And to think, all I needed was a little perspective.
