Growing Up - Daily Dose of Wisdom

There is a time when He relates to us as a father relates to his infant child. We can cry and spit and make those little messes babies make—but He loves us, just because we are His child.

And then there comes a time when we have to grow up and do something.

Growing up or The wisdom of not doing

When we are toddlers -practically- G-d doesn't exist, as time goes by we grow up but the very moment when G-d is manifest to us, -our life changes! By the way, His now evident presence to us has nothing to do with "doing something" to make others notice that we have grown up.

Growing up

I laughed at Neil Greenberg's question. I will be turning 64 in less than a month and feel much the same way.

After all, who would not want to do something that made a positive change in our world? Or even smaller, our country, state, city, or even in the life of another person?
