Think good and it will be good ALWAYS applies

I just asked the Rebbe something in connection with the virus and then opened to this page! It’s amazing because my profile picture over the last period was “think good and it will be good,” but I was just thinking to change it, because I started to have doubts - maybe we’re living in a different time now when this doesn’t work ch”v? 

Things are really not looking good at the moment and it seems we must take ACTION instead. Of course we need to Daven that it will be only revealed good, and that Moshiach be revealed now, but at the same time maybe it’s healthy and life-saving to worry too?

But the Rebbe is reminding that the directive to “think good and it will be good” applies NOW  more than ever! Our thoughts have a REAL effect, our trust in Hashem REALLY protects us! *Our thinking good is what will REALLY  save lives!* It’s actually dangerous to chv think otherwise, and especially to speak otherwise!!! 

It seems like a contradiction to have Emunah and bitachon AND take very strict precautions, both practical, and spiritual, at the same time. But when I wrote into the Rebbe about that a short while back, I opened to a letter where the Rebbe explains that Torah contains opposites, and they are BOTH true and DO co-exist! 

The first of the 10 commandments is to “*Believe in Hashem* and that He is the Only power”, while the last of the 10 commandments is “*Do not kill*!” We need to do *BOTH* - we need to stay home to save lives, AND we need to trust that only Hashem has power to save lives! And the latter is what’s primary! 

Today is the last day of Adar - we are meant to feel the maximum joy! Let’s show Hashem our trust and excitement in Geulah by singing, dancing, and preparing our tambourines - even while we sit home, fasting, saying Tehillim, and feeling the bitterness of this golus, - Just like Miriam HaNeviah did. 

Hashem’s promise, and the Rebbe’s prophecy, are in the middle of unfolding before our eyes, Our trust in Him is what will speed up the process and ensure ONLY revealed good from now on, especially with the true and complete Geulah NOW!

For This Daughter I Prayed

Image
6 years ago today, I was blessed to become a Mommy for the first time, to my precious daughter, Nechamale. Although I have shared my journey to motherhood several times before, and although it is deeply personal, I decided it's finally time for me to put it on paper. Shortly after our wedding, (like many women in our community,)  I was already dreaming of becoming pregnant and welcoming a baby as soon as possible. I expected it to happen quickly and naturally, as it BH does for most woman, but as month after month passed by without any news, I started to feel very anxious.  Any doctor I shared my concern with said to wait at least one full year before worrying, which didn't really feel possible... But when we hit that one year mark, my fear and emptiness reached a whole new level.  That second year of waiting was so painful for me, and I was extremely impatient. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I did not "take it well" at all! Although I used to love kids

Everyone's Rebbe

On 12 Tammuz this past summer, I was checking out in a store in Boro Park, when the sales lady asked me, "did you come in for gimmel Tammuz?" I told her that I came for a few things - (my brother in law just got married BH,) but of course for that too. But I sensed she was trying to show me that she too knows the Rebbe and chabad.. So I asked her, "do you go to the ohel?" "Of course!" She said. "today and tomorrow are actually really good days to go to the ohel, 12/13 Tammuz.." I mentioned. "it's always a good time to go," she answered. "I usually go on Thursdays cuz it's my day off." I thought she must have more to say, so I asked, "Did you have any special encounters?" Her: "No." Me: "well the truth is that it's always a special encounter.." She lowered her voice. "Ok, I'll tell you." "When my oldest son was ready to get married, he met a g

Thank you Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka

Image
I just discovered something amazing, and I want to share it as gratitude to our Rebbetzin... even though it’s a bit personal. We know that parents receive special Divine Intuition to know exactly which name to give to which child, but of course, not always do we see it or understand it right away. For example, when Hashem blessed us with our precious princess 3 years ago, on the 21st of the Hebrew month of Teves, we named her Chaya Mushka simply because it seemed the most “logical” name to give her.  We didn’t see that Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka had any special connection to the date that our daughter was born. (It was a month and a day before the anniversary of the Rebbetzin’s passing, and over 2 months before her birthday, while it was only 1 week before Rebbetzin Chana’s birthday, which was also a name on our dream list.) But after some initial indecision, it still felt right to us to name for the Rebbe’s wife at the FIRST opportunity possible, as we had always planned...  (Our first da
