After watching a video on Chabad on prayer, I decided to watch something light before I close the computer. I chose this video. Light, in the sense I was seeking, it was not. I am in tears.
Light in a better sense it was! Oh, to have the faith of a little child! If I had that, I would be blessed beyond measure!
Watching Sharon's funeral today saddened me. Hearing of another attack from Gaza today saddened me. This video, and the faith of that little child, gives me HOPE!
As I search for my place here on earth, please remember me in your prayers. I know I feel pulled to the Jewish faith for a reason, and I do trust that G-d is in charge of where I am going even though I don't know where that is as of yet.
Thanks for this video, and for this site. It means SO much to someone like me who is stuck with no Rabbi to go to. I am blessed to know that I can go to G-d in prayer, and He will answer me.
