I cracked up. Someone asked me what I thought G-d was trying to tell me. My answer: I have no clue, but He should know that I'm definitely listening. Best, MLW Thanks, Jack –

May you be with us until 120. How Blessed are you to have merited to see a Miracle right before you. How many times do we get cut-off while driving or waiting in line and while upset, frustated at the "Chutzpa", at the entitlementia,as my wife calls it, of others, we lose sight that this is also HaSh-m's, G-d's Doing and that it is for our benefit that this "terrible" event took place. Some of us in our outrage and thoughts about how someone could have done that to us do not see HaSh-m's, G-d's Doing but you, you got to see HaSh-m's, G-d's Doing clearly and in this world and now thanks to you we get to see it and experience it as well. You are Blessed and we are Blessed because of you. Thank you HaSh-m, Thank you G-d, thank you Miriam L Wallach B”H
