Today’s daily dose is dedicated to the safe, easy and healthy birth and delivery of Elisheva Ruth bat Sarah Imeinu. May we soon celebrate a new neshama in this world b’simcha!
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of the people in the world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and small change in your pocket, you are amongst the 8% of people who are the richest in the world.
If you awoke this morning with more health than sickness, you are blessed more than those who will not feel this way.
If you have never experienced what it is like to live through war, be isolated in a prison cell, suffer through famine, you are blessed to not be amongst the 700 million people in the world who have.
If you can go anywhere without feeling a fear of threat and death, being scared of imprisonment or other distress than you are envied by 3 billion people who aren’t blessed to feel such tranquility.
If you can lift your head and smile, you are luckier than the many that cannot right now.
I am the first to send my ‘return receipt’ to the confirmation room; a huge note of thanks to Hashem for the many riches I was gifted with… many of which go unnoticed in the daily rat race of life.
