עשיר איזהובחלקו השמח

If someone offered you 1 million dollars for both of your eyes

(and you’d be blind for the rest of your

life) … would you do it?

That means you are walking around every day with something worth more

than 1 million dollars!

If not, then think about this:

And what about everything else you have?

Your earsYour arms

Your mouth

Your ability to think Your health

Your friends Your parents

Your legs

Your ability to play

Your ability to communicateYour siblings

Your freedom

Your relatives

Look How Rich We All Are?

Who is rich?

עשיר ? איזהו

One who is happy with what he has

One beautiful summer day, the sun was shining and there was not a cloud in the sky. A family decides to go on a picnic.

It was a perfect day . . .

They unpack the picnic basket and take out the red and white checkered blanket. Then they take out the delicious food: fruits, breads, meats…

But wait . . . Where is the ketchup?They forgot to pack it.The food won’t taste as good without it.

The picnic is ruined.The family pack up and head home.

Of course!

This is crazy – right?

Each morning we wake up;

But this is what WE do every day.

Hashem has given us back our souls;

We can breathe, move, think and feel;

We have shelter and food;

We have family and friends.

- We don’t have the latest cell phone

But we spend so much time complaining

about what we don’t have

- We don’t have our own bedroom

- We don’t have the knapsack thatwe really wanted

We complainabout the ketchup

Instead we should be appreciating

all that we have
