The thing you're complaining about today might just be the yes to yesterday's prayer. You know, recently my house looked literally like a tornado hit. Chairs out, toys everywhere, absolute chaos. And I felt it. You know that feeling, the irritation rising. Why is it such a mess? Why can't it just be calm? And then it hit me. Someone right now is praying for this noise. Someone right now would give anything for that dirty diaper, for that chair that isn't tucked in. And so it occurred to me, be very careful what you complain about. Because the mess you're frustrated with today might just be the brocha, the blessing you once begged God for as recently as yesterday.
