Urgent preparations for Friday of Shabbos HaGadol. The house is still between chometz and matzah and the pressure is at its peak. I stood helplessly in the street, holding my hands open. I have so many tasks to do, errands, shopping. Feeling dizzy and at a loss, on the verge of despair, asking the Creator to arrange the tasks for me Himself, or to cancel them, because on my own I could not get everything I need! I simply felt like crying... At the height of desperation, a car stops next to me and asks me where I need to go? It turns out it is my friend. I got into the car and asked, “Where not?!”
He understood the situation and told me, “Give me the to-do list.” He made me an order and started driving me to the first stop and waited for me in the car. Drove me to the next stop and so on. In about forty minutes he brought me home with a smile on my face, I can't believe I actually finished everything so quickly. If I took public transportation, it would take me at least three hours, if I would have even done it all. Even if I had my own car, I wouldn't be that fast enough because I had to find parking in crowded places etc...
With thanks to Hashem and food for thought for car owners. Sometimes a car owner can give a small ride and do a huge kindness without being aware of how much he saves a situation (if possible).
