To All My Romper Room Buddies - Time to Let Go and Let G-d . . .

[Doxherding Karen]

When Solomon was crowned King of the Jewish nation, he was overwhelmed.  Happy, excited, afraid, worried - all the emotions swirling through his head and his heart.  He fell to his knees and prayed to G-d.  "How can I keep myself grounded?  How will I manage through all the times of great happiness, knowing that sorrow and pain can come in the blink of an eye?"

The Lord G-d said to Solomon, "Look down at your hand."  He looked down at his hands and there, on his finger, was a simple gold ring.  He took it off and read the inscription on it: "Gahm zeh yah-ahvor" was written: "Also this will pass" was what it said.  "When things are going well, remember that this moment will pass, and when you are in the depths of dispair, remember that the pain and sorrow you face is just as fleeting."

It was this simple observation that helped make Solomon the wisest of all men. 

Have faith in your hearts and love in your soul.

Very well said dear friend.  There is always G-d to fall back on for he is always there.
