Are you hungry? It is lunchtime here in the world where I live, and this lunchtime varies from town to town all over all of the nations of the entire world. Are you eating or are you hungry? Examine why you might be hungry, are you hungering or thirsting for more than food? Are you desiring love??
What do we expect as we study Torah? A way out of the mundane and boredom, a way to satiate our hunger and thirst because we love God? We love God and no one else. Do we love our parents? We are supposed to HONOR our parents. It is much easier to just love them though without helping or honoring them. Are you looking for a way out? Honoring your parents is the key to success and is the key to understanding our LOVE for God.
Were you thirsty and suddenly a downpour of white mountains of snow like the snow from a blueberry snow cone came forcefully falling all over your yard!
What is snow? Snow is natural water, rain water that has hardened and frosted, real water, not chlorinated bleach water. To walk safely in this water that became snow, to not take a tumble. To shovel for your parents, to tell them to take it easy, that you will handle everything. We do this out of honor, to put our parents first, especially if our parents are senior citizens. If we can honor our parents then we save our love for God, God as our Beloved. Our parents happily living forever as we feed them and shovel their snow.
White snow as manna? Licking lips, not chapped, putting a small amount of water on our lips after we wash our hands with the Hebrew blessing. No chapped lips in the cold. Sure footedness as we walk on shoveled walks. Full meals at home of breaded Kosher fish. Tingle it with tartar sauce. A fish that no longer swims but was raised and living in natural waters. Mikvah waters were his home. Why then can we see that fish are healthy and why most fish are Kosher. Except of course, shellfish is not Kosher. Stay away from non-Kosher eating. Yes, pork is pig. There is no way around it.
To find a way to communicate and to love people on a full stomach of Kosher foods. To laugh and love the snow, as it flies everywhere and settles as mounds, lightly puffy and white, loving the snow as it was created by God.
We love snow and love its Maker, to Love God the Creator of All!!
The word Love as in LIPS, beginning with a capital L, definitely not as oops!!!
