Reason to Celebrate

Interesting, the sense of G-d’s presence I can literally feel it increasing exponential as the Sabbath approaches. The sense of galut has been extraordinary heavy for me with exhaustion that comes with it and more brain fog. I just let it be and as the Sabbath approached it was even more extraordinary. I let the atmosphere stay just as it was. The hours felt totally different. Things became very clear. I saw the years as though they were stepping stones, each one decisively different, different colors and designs. I realized that my life was a story that can’t be told and yet every piece fits. And now it is all in a fog again. Everything changed shortly when it started getting dark. Now it is out of sight but somehow I sense it is still there. That is a comfort to me. Maybe like Someone else painted it. That make me cry a little. There are so many layers. Hashem is incredible. We are told the next era will be like an eternal Sabbath. That makes me so happy. I am so tired and that’s ok Reply

In order to abandon you, or anyone else, G-d would have to abandon Himself, because there is nothing else. But He IS going through a “training” or “educating” or even “polishing” of each and every soul.
He enjoys helping His “students” through the steps to perfection. Reply

It’s amazing how HaShem has plans for our every action. A love beyond our understanding. Shalom Elohim. Reply

Since my husband passed away 2 years ago I constantly seem to fall on my face and beating myself up over it. Although I know He is with me, I feel like I am not appreciative or strong enough when I fall. It's like a roller coaster. Prayers help so much, but the constant ups and downs are wreaking havoc on my mental well-being. Thank you for these very helpful and kind words. Reply

Good,Bad and the Ugly Weather I wake-up and pray and do good works, everything is all working great this day. Weather I wake-up in a bad mood and don't pray, plus I get upset at everyone. I know that this does not change HaShem in the way that He cares and love me. Because is this knowledge I am filled with peace and joy. I may change, but G-d never changes. Reply

Love it! I absolutely love this message and it's so elegantly worded. Thank you! Reply

I finally came to think that I must be very grateful that I know I have a God and He is right here by my side. Many people do not know it. This is their great misery. Reply

reason to celebrate to be appreciated and also have a soft place to fall - it sure is a reason to celebrate big time! Reply

Staggering stumbling I stagger and stumble sober or not but fall down less staggering and stumbling sober and although I camp on a park bench enduring conditions, I breathe the fresh air of freedom. Reply

Thank you for this very profound thought. I tend to eat myself up whether I do things right or wrong. I forget that I am only a human being. But to know that such Kindness is right by my side is the utmost grace. Reply

Celebrate...! Reb Tzvi, You must have been "watching" when I fell off a ladder at ChabadER and broke my ankle in three places yesterday while building Sukkah ! Go figure! Reply

I always believe even when things are not going well with me, i always fell down on my face and praise G-d.

I love him so much. Reply

God always come through for me.I ask, I believe and I thank Him even before it comes comes to past. I feel in my heart that it is done. Sometime , there may be a little doubt then I have to remine myself how I have to continue to trust Him. God does not want us to worry. Reply
