Guest Post: The Power of Thanking HaShem

The Power of Thanking HaShem
by Mr. Cohen [GUEST POST]
This true short story happened
to me on 2016 August 10:

I went to a hardware store to make three sets of keys.

After the three sets of keys were made, I left the hardware store.

When I arrived at my destination, the third set of keys was missing.

I checked all my pockets and my knapsack and any place where
I might have put them – more than once. I could not find them at my
destination, so I thought that I must have left them in the hardware store.

On my way back to the hardware store, I thanked HaShem
for giving me the new keys.  Then I thanked HaShem
in advance for helping me find the lost keys.

Less than five seconds later, the lost keys popped out of
a compartment in my knapsack that I never noticed before,
right before my eyes.  The lost keys were found!

Before I conclude my true short story, please allow me
to point out that this was not the first time that I thanked
HaShem that day; it was the 30th or 40th time that I thanked
HaShem that day.  If it would have been the first time
that day that I thanked HaShem, I do not know if the results
would have been the same.
Last but not least, please allow me to recommend
THE GARDEN OF GRATITUDE by Rabbi Shalom Arush,
translated into English by Rabbi Lazer Brody.

Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski MD said:

“Justice is what Torah refers to as justice.
Compassion is what Torah designates as compassion.
Non-Torah ideas of justice and compassion have
played no small part in the moral decadence
so prevalent in modern civilization.”

Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski MD said:

When Rabbi Nachman [of Breslov, born 1772 CE
and died in 1810 CE] said that despair does not exist
in reality, he meant to say that:

If you feel hopeless, [then] you should have the
presence-of-mind to recognize that this feeling
can have no basis in reality. 

You should realize that the feeling of despair is a distortion
of reality, a hallucination, or delusion brought about by the
sitra achra [the side of evil].
