Gracious and Compassionate

טיב הקהילה English | June 27, 2025

While I was working at a residence I slipped and took an unpleasant fall. Baruch Hashem, in spite of some bruising, I did not break an arm or a leg, I gritted my teeth with the pain, and I continued to work as usual. Later that night my body was wracked with intense pain. I took some pain relievers and they only slightly reduced the pain. It was too late to call the manager of the residence to arrange a replacement for me, so I arrived for work as usual hoping to find a replacement sometime that morning, but I was not able to find a replacement. Of my entire group of six infants only one baby showed up, one that did not require a lot of special care, on the contrary, the baby was a relief for me, smiling and happy because of the individual attention and for me this was literally medication for the pain and after a few hours of rest and tranquility the pain was almost gone. In all the years that I have been working there I do not remember a day that only one child showed up, this was an amazing gift from Heaven.

With thanks to Hashem for all His kindnesses!!! ג.ש.
