Shabbat Shalom Reflection
00:02:21
|
|
| Jeff in Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, lost two children in recent years. | |
| Faith keeps him feeling lucky and blessed. | |
| I am so aware of the suffering that is ubiquitous. | |
| How could I not feel how lucky I am? | |
| But I am not alone in this regard. | |
| There are so many people in this circumstance. | |
| So keep that chart for this next week. | |
| Just every time you feel lucky, just put a, you know, a line under that side. | |
| And every time you feel unlucky, put a line on that side. | |
| David, Colorado Springs, hi. | |
| Hello? | |
| Yes, hi. | |
| Hi, Shabbat Shalom. | |
| This is really Shabbat Shalom Day. | |
| Shabbat for me, too. | |
| Amazing. | |
| I want to say I've been a very optimistic person and a happy person all my life. | |
| And it was through the happiness hour that it really solidified, and I recognized how I could even be more happy and have that choice. | |
| And it also helped besides just being happy, but it also makes the choice of how I respond to things that have happened to me, like stage 4 colon cancer. | |
| And it was through the idea that we don't determine what happens to us. | |
| It just happens. | |
| But we do have a choice on how we respond to it. | |
| Exactly what I was just saying. | |
| Well, that's why I broadcast the Happiness Hour. | |
| And I know it has an impact. | |
| There's no reason it shouldn't have an impact. | |
| It certainly isn't political. | |
| So I wonder what people do. | |
| We're affected by the happy. | |
| I do. | |
| I think about this on occasion. | |
| People who can't stand my views on life other than the happiness error, let's say the male-female error. | |
| So what do you think happens with me? | |
| So am I sort of like bifurcated? | |
| Think really clearly on happiness and really unclearly on life or politics? | |
| I mean, I'm just curious. | |
| There's no argument there. | |
| Jeff, Gene, Todd, Joan, Rob, and Dick. | |
| God bless you for calling. | |
