Last shabbos I was saying my usual shabbos mevarchim tehillim, sitting with a good friend Yitzchok Barber, when a little 8 year old boy came over to me and asked if I had a Tehillim that he could use. I gave him mine and Yitzchok invited him to sit next to us. Yitzchok told him that I have a son in the army and told him his name, and asked if he could have him in mind while he says Tehillim. Of course he said, yes.
So now I've got this sweet tiny boy sitting next to me and this was our conversation. I asked him his name and he answered Shlomo. Shlomo said he needed to say 6 chapters starting with chapter 46. So I opened up to Kapital 46 and then Shlomo began to say his Tehillim with such conviction that I couldn't help but stare at this pure soul. I then said to Shlomo, “you are doing so well“, and he answered, thank you.
About 10 minutes later, I said to Shlomo, “Thank you for sitting next to me“, but he didn't respond but kept on saying his Tehillim, and then finished that Kapital and turned to me and answered “Your welcome”. Another ten minutes later, he was almost finished when he turned to me and said “I just want to make Hashem happy”. I was finished. OMG where did this pure soul come from !!!!!!! What a Zchus for me.
Then Shlomo said that last shabbos mevarchim, he managed to say 21 chapters. I was later told by his father that this shabbos he completed 26 chapters. Yep, he made my shabbos.
