People ask me all the time: What’s your secret? How are you always happy and serene, with a smile on your face? They know that several years have gone by since my chasunah and I haven’t yet been blessed with children. They know that my wife has been hospitalized for several months and that I go back and forth, walking through the hospital corridors. They know, and they are amazed by the smile that never leaves my face.
My answer is: “The Hashgachah Pratis phone line.”
It’s not that when I need chizuk I call in and listen; not at all. It’s that the phone line has instilled in me emunah and bitachon – living with Hakadosh Baruch Hu. This is my feeling in life. When you are with Hashem, is it possible not to be happy?!
So I thank you, the hanhalah and all those who work on keeping the phone line running. In your zechus I have a good, happy life!
