The Burnt Toast - R. Moshe Dov Heber - TorahAnytime.com

So, I want to share an idea. Where I teach in Yeshiva Ketana of Waterbury each Friday in my sixth grade class, I have the boys share Hashgacha Protis stories. Usually at the beginning, starts out slow. And then in the middle of the year, it could be seven, eight boys sharing Hashgacha Protis stories. Stories where they saw Hashem in their lives. It could be something small or seemingly small, like boys often share, "I ran out of cereal for breakfast and that day, a boy put on filling and they served bagels for breakfast." But he saw Hakadosh Baruch Hu in his life that day. Or maybe it can be a story like this that a boy shared. He said, "My father was doing the shopping at after Pesach. Okay? He comes home, he buys the loaf of bread that we usually buy. I put it in the toaster once, it burnt. I put it in the toaster a second time, and it burnt. And the boy said, 'I couldn't understand what was going on.' But then we looked at the package and we realized that my father had bought the wrong flavor of the brand that we usually buy and what we had wasn't kosher. And Hakadosh Baruch Hu in his infinite wisdom, Hakadosh Baruch Hu made it that it burnt. Our toast never burnt. But imagine in our lives, we can begin seeing these stories. They got Hashem, Hashgacha Protis. Sharing them with friends, sharing them with family, can share them with me. Maybe one day I can use them. But imagine even more. Once a week or so, you jot them down, you write them down how you saw Hakadosh Baruch Hu in your life. It can be transformative. It can change your life forever. Because then you'll start to realize that everything, big, small, everything is the Yad Hashem. Hakadosh Baruch Hu orchestrated everything.
