Reply To: I Want Moshiach NOW

thank you all for caring enough about my spiritual health to let me know how wrong i am 🙂

mr. coffee, i thought you had more depth than that. Did it really sound to you like i want moshiach so i wont have to work on chol hamoed?

I want moshiach so i can live in a spiritual world filled with emes and Torah where people dont give me mints on pesach and my children dont spend yom tov home alone.

I want to be at home, building a bayis neeman, spending the chol hamoed days with my children talking about the beauty of having this time to spend with Hashem, working on ridding our souls of chametz and surrounding ourselves in the kedusha of the regel.

I want to spend chol Hamoed feeling the benefits of having spent weeks (or days) ridding our souls of chametz and praying that the spark is strong enough to carry me through the whole year.

I want my children to know that a moed is a time to be close to Hashem, not in an office dealing with “stuff” and listening to weekday matters as if it’s any other day or week.

I want Pesach to fill my mind all day so that I can maximize the lesson it teaches me.

I am grateful to Hashem for my job and I say so everyday, but there is no substitute for being at home where I believe I belong and I, personally, would love every wife to want to be (tho I have no desire to impose that on anyone). This need to be at work at all, let alone on chol haMoed, is a product of galus and only moshiach can put an end to this and place us all back where we were meant to be.

(and you didn’t have to be so nasty, either)
