It’s rosh chodesh nissan, and nissan is known to be especially mesugal for the coming of the geulah. take something small, not very difficult, that will be your thing to bring mashiach closer. maybe bentch from a bencher, call someone who will appreciate it (it doesnt have to be an hour call, even five minutes is fine!!!) be especially careful with shmiras halashon for a few minutes more than you would… nothing life altering, but together we can make a big difference!
kapusta: this is a great idea for a thread!!!! i look foward to reading posts here!!!
Thanks for the inspiration, kapusta!
~a~
This is a great thread. Does anyone have any ideas?
Judge people favorably.
There are so many times that we look at others and assume we know the way they are, why they act the way they do and why they are the people they seem to be. So many times we judge them and think bad things about them, but if we stop and think that they are just human beings we will realize that their life circumstances or things they’ve lived through have made them the way they are.
I’ve had the uncomfortable situation of being hurt by a person who does not even know me well, but nevertheless has something against me, and I felt bitter towards that person. One day I found out things about this person and issues going on in this person’s life and suddenly I saw this individual’s hurtful actions in a new light. All this time I felt that I had been wronged until I realized this person was suffering and acting this way because of an illness. I learned from that situation to judge others favorably, even when they are the ones who seem to be hurting you. You don’t know what people live through and although I don’t deserve what this person has done to me, I find it hard for my heart not to forgive them. I see people in a new light now. From the person who has wronged me, I have learned never to judge others.
(sorry for the rant, it’s late and I should be in lala land now)
If it’s for a week or two… how about cleaning for Pesach with a SMILE on our face.
I think you should bentch from a bentcher. thats the most important thing in the world
I. M. Here
very important point! Especially if you have kids and want them to look forward to yomim tovim and not dread them.
charlie brown- I think that says something very special about the chinnuch you aim for in your household. There should be more parents out there like you. Kol hakovod!
thanks areivim. The key word there is aim. Whether I meet that goal or not is something you’d have to ask my kids.
I purposely used the word “aim”. There’s no way for me to determine if it’s true or not, but it does sound like you at least TRY! Which many unfortunately don’t
thanks!
you’re welcs 😉
obviously- I’m all for the doing pesach preps in a pleasant manor. Think- we gotta do it anyway, may as well enjoy! (and don’t waste energy krechtzing)
kapusta: i’ve been working on that actually for some time now! yeah it’s a really good thing & makes a difference!
kapusta- those are my 2 greatest interests: books and music. Thanks for the food for thought…
Say something nice to at least one person, but not obvious.
Do some secret act of kindness a day.
