Daily Bitachon #1700

Mrs. Padower has a son learning in yeshiva. Before he left one morning, he told his mother that one of his teeth were hurting him. He asked her if she was able to schedule him a dentist appointment for that day. He only wanted to go bein hasedarim. He didn’t want to go during seder time. She said to her son, “I understand that you want to go only during bein hasedarim, and that you want an appointment right away. However, the dentist doesn’t run around YOUR schedule. We have to go around the dentist’s schedule. Beggars can’t be choosers. Therefore, what are the chances that you can get an appointment today? Even if you can, what are the chances that it will be for exactly when you want it?” Then she said, “One second. That’s when you go with teva, with laws of nature; that they’re the ones in charge of giving out appointments. But if I believe that Hakadosh Baruch Hu is the one who makes appointments and He’s the one in charge, then I’m just going to leave it up to Hashem and say, ‘Hashem, You’re Hakol Yachol. I want an appointment today, and during bein hasedarim.’” With that, she called up the dentist and had in mind that really she is talking to Hakadosh Baruch Hu, the Ribono Shel Olam. She asked if they had any available slots for today. The secretary said, “Sure, we just got an opening for 3 o’clock! Would you like to come?” Mrs. Padower answered, “That’s exactly perfect! That’s smack in middle of bein hasedarim!!” With that, they got the perfect appointment, strictly during bein hasedarim. He was able to go back and forth and not miss learning! As heard on ‘A Life With Bitachon’.
