I have no explanation for the experience that repeated itself over the last three weeks, but this is what happened: My son is in cheder, and his name came up three times as a winner in an Avos U’banim raffle for the children.
This is what Hashem chose for him, and this is what repeated itself again and again, each Motzaei Shabbos, and each time he came away with a coveted toy, which only one out of 150 children can win.
This past week, the fourth Motzaei Shabbos, the matter had already become known: My son’s card was probably worth more. After my dear son received his card, somehow it fell on the floor, and someone else hurried to pick it up. Who knew – perhaps along with the card, the mazal would be transferred to him as well?
I said to myself, what does it matter which card my son is holding? I asked for another card for him. When the time came, the raffle was held and, this time as well, almost as expected, my son won! He received the most expensive prize.
We saw with our own eyes that it is not the card that wins, but the person.
May Hashem help us with things of true value, and thank You also for these small wins!
