The Library

I saw a friend this morning who wasn't smiling. I asked him if his children had clothes. He said yes. I asked him if he had food on his table today. He said yes. I asked him if his roof leaks when it rains. He smiled and said no.

Count your blessings. Don't take the things you always have for granted. Start with counting your toes.

You are hugged by Hashem all the time. The trick is to feel it at least one a day. The hug doesn't have to be a volcanic miracle. It can be as quiet as a new understanding/awareness of Hashem's role in your life, or even of the BEAUTY of His creation.

I just saw a National Geographic article about pollen. Unbelievable close-up color photographs of the beauty and complexity and PURE GENIUS of how these many diversified shaped and colored particles look & function. Realizing that Hashem orchestrates the release, travel, and deposit of these things to continue to create flowers & plants was a pure "Awe & Wonder Moment" for me.

So too, Hashem is in control of MY life, even if I think from my microscopic view of the universe that I am just being blown by the wind for no rhyme or reason.

HKB"H sends a gazillion messages our way each day. We just gotta LOOK and ASK Him for help, in anything and everything. Just "Let Go and Let G-d". TRUST him.

This DOES work.

Have an "awesome" day,

Steve
