National "Get Over It" Day is today!!!

I can't believe this one. There is actually a day dedicated to getting over it. See this site, http://www.getoveritday.com/.
But what is "it"? It is what ever you can't seem to get past. A past hurt, a past resentment, a past break up, or whatever. Or maybe it's not in the past. Maybe it is ongoing. In one of the sermon I preached when I first got to Good Shepherd I said "The music here is loud today. It was loud last week. Probably going to be loud next week. Deal with it." (My version of telling people to get over it.) It was probably the single most responded to sermon I've ever preached, at least from the negative perspective. Many people were offended at my suggestion that they needed to get past what they considered to be an offense. Yet none of their efforts to change the music had succeeded and they still were upset.
I think sometimes we would rather play the martyr in one show rather than either going along with the play as it is written, or moving on to another show.
Still, I know enough about pastoral counseling to realize that "getting over it" is much more easier said than done. That's why we have counselors, psychological and psychiatric communities, and a myriad of self-help books and gurus. Maybe we need to recognize that being told to "get over it" is the beginning of a process of letting go of the past and moving on to the future. Forgiving, forgetting, even forsaking what was, so that God can guide you into what can be.
