G-d's Humor

G-d has a funny sense of humor. All the time.
Sometimes we get it and sometimes we don't.

G-d always listens to our prayers.
He answers in ways we would never expect.
He answers when we expect it least.

I always try to see G-ds hand in everything that occurs
and when I'm privileged to see it clearly
G-d amazes me over and over again

i never tire
of that feeling of wonder
of seeing all the pieces come into place
even things as small (or big if you live in nyc) as a parking space

today was one of those days
where g-d brought a gift to my doorstep

my older brother lives across the country.
between the time difference and our schedules
we are not in touch very often.

family is everything to me,
and i always wished that we'd be closer

out of the blue he called me
to say that he is here in town
he came over to visit
and spent a nice evening with my family

its so good to see my brother again
is like a weight has been lifted off my chest
a long day of cooking
turned into a wonderful afternoon

it means the world to me
for my brother to see that I'm happy
that we are all healthy and in a better place

my heart soaring all day
from this big surprise,
from this feeling of wonder,
that G-d settles everything
when its meant to be

it amazes me all over again
that just when we despair,
Hashem takes care
He gives us what we need

Hashem just gave me a
huge boost,
a big dose of encouragement

i feel a huge sense of relief
and a tangible belief
that everything else that I've been asking
and praying for will indeed come to fruition

i see it so clearly, in this moment
i wish i could hold onto this elation and clarity forever
