DO-OVERS

A meditation based upon Psalm 79
Sometimes things don’t turn out the way we would’ve planned
and it’s hard to undo the mess our lives have become
I’m surprised that the Divine doesn’t just wipe the slate
and start fresh, like with Noah
That would be (and often is) my reaction when things don’t go my way
Thank goodness that the Holy One doesn’t react the way I do
The Divine seems to have selective memory, as if
I really didn’t do that stupid thing … again
The Holy One’s mercy is tender
and swift
No having to wait around for the Divine to re-think things
Do-overs are a holy grace
Starting fresh is a note to the world that Divine accounting
always balances out in freedom for our souls
The cost is little on our part
just follow and be thankful
