In the Morning
Psalm 30
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning —Psalm 30:5b
“Life is suffering,” Buddhists say and almost everyone else who looks at life realistically. Some sorrow can be alleviated and some cannot. Some sadness may follow us to the grave.
What can we say about wounds that do not heal?
The "morning" that the psalmist envisions is that “great gettin'-up morning,” or so I believe, when Love will call us home, when sorrow and sadness will flee away. ”Weeping may tarry for the night,” but this is not forever.
That idea alone, turns my "mourning into dancing” this morning. My feet, like Snoopy’s start tapping...
