A THANKFUL HEART

There was once a great rabbi, who had many students who
hung on his every word. One morning, the students were
surprised to find their rabbi was not at breakfast. Later on,
they were shocked to discover he did not come to the
classrooms, either. The students missed their rabbi and
wondered where he was. Finally, they knocked on his door,
wondering what had befallen their beloved teacher. The
students opened the door, and were surprised to find their
rabbi, still in his night clothes, sitting up in his bed, a dazed
expression on his face. "Rabbi," cried his students, "are you
ill? Where have you been all day?" The rabbi gazed at his
students and explained. "This morning, as every morning, I
awoke and immediately said the prayer upon arising: I thank
you, Eternal King…. And then I stopped as the words hit me.
I thank G- d? I…thank…G- d? Students, do you realize what
a privilege this is, to commune with the Almighty? I realized
the power of this statement! And I have been sitting here
pondering the greatness of this ever since!"

In order for us to fully understand this we must understand the

jews morning prayer of thanks.. MOD-EH-ANI

I thank You, living and eternal King, Who has returned my

soul into me with compassion – great is Your faithfulness!

In this brief prayer, they would thank G-d for returning there
souls to there bodies once again, for not having let us die in
our sleep, for letting us exist. It's an obvious source of
gratitude, but one that we often lose sight of in our hectic
days. How often do we get the chance to stop and thank G-d
for the miracle of our own existence?

SAINTS OF GOD..:
Thanksgiving is more, than food and football with family,
it goes way beyond . . . turkey on the table. Thanksgiving
isn’t about, just one meal we share it goes way further . . .
then a dinner prayer. Thanksgiving is about, each day of
the year making sure our praise God is able to hear.
Thanksgiving isn’t just about, a single day with family it
goes way past . . .that. Thanksgiving is about, being
thankful to God for all things no matter what in this life .
to your table that it brings!
