I am, for a change, at a loss for words. For what you have gone through, to still maintain such strong faith puts you on a very high level, spiritually speaking. Job didn’t have much on you, and your example is very inspiring.
May you enjoy continued good health and live to 120.
Thanks for those comments. But the trite old saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I have had so many Doctors comment on the fact that there is no way I should be alive is always uplifting. Several of them have said that I just make them look good...However, always give the credit to the ultimate healer. I am still here because my work is not done. The minute it is, then I will be ready to walk through the door to the world to come. Gladly.
I would add one thing to those statements. I became friends with a Holocaust survivor. His name is Moshe Avital. He has written several books on the subject (just google him), of which I have read all of them. Our conversations always made me put things in a better perspective, almost to the point of saying in reference to your Job comment, What troubles are you talking about? I discuss openly with Dr. Avital about his experiences, and I realize that all of the pain and suffering pales by comparison to others, and in spite of it all, HE walked away in 1945 a better person. He was chosen for his purposes as well. In fact, he has never overcome the ‘survivor’ guilt that so many of them have. I always believe that no matter what happens to us (and me) in this lifetime is temporary, and as the Bible says, G-d will wipe all of our tears away....
