The reference to Psalm 8:2 includes the notion of strength, and suggests that praise is unencumbered by enemies who would dampen the spirit. The children cried out, "Hosanna to the Son of David" when Y'shua healed the blind and lame people who came to him in the Temple while the elders were suspicious of his motives, and angry that he had upset the apple carts (the money changers and vendors). Children recognize authentic joy and respond with celebration. This week Americans will turn themselves upside-down with the celebration of Independence. Some of us "Oldies" may decry the boisterous expressions of gaiety, but while we remember that our Founders paid dearly for the privilege of Freedom, we remember that Y'shua gave the blind ones freedom to observe life around them, the lame ones the freedom to dance. Be safe, be tolerant, be sober, but have fun. Let's celebrate life!
Shalom, Mother BE
