R’ Greenberg said over that money was becoming very tight. He made a cheshbon that in order for him to cover his budget and all his bills and expenses, he needed an extra $10,000. He said to his wife, “Can you please do me a favor? Can you please explain to your boss tomorrow at work that you need a raise of $10,000?” He advised her how she should approach and ask her boss for this raise. The next day, when she came home, he asked her, “How did it work out? Were you able to ask your boss for a $10,000 raise?” She replied, “I’ll tell you the truth. When I came into his office to ask him for the raise, I started to feel uncomfortable telling him an amount. Therefore, I decided that I’m just going to leave it up to him. He said he’s going to think about it, and he came back to me saying that he is able to give me an $8,000 raise.” R’ Greenberg told his wife, “Don’t worry! You think I need a Fisher Price, play dough, clay dough boss to decide how much of a raise he’s going to give you? I believe our money comes from Hakadosh Baruch Hu, the Ribono Shel Olam. Because we need an extra $10,000, Hakadosh Baruch Hu will send it to us. But now that we realize it’s not your fisher price boss giving us the money, it’s Hashem, then Hakadosh Baruch Hu could give us a lot MORE than $10,000!! Let’s just go with Hakol Yachol, that Hashem is in charge of our parnassah.” The next day she came home from work and she said. “The boss called me into his office. I started to wonder why he was calling me in again! Uh-oh! What’s this all about? My boss told me that he rethought it, and he decided that he wants to give me a lot more than $8,000. He’s going to give me a $12,000 raise!” In no time, not only did they get their $10,000, they got a lot more than they even thought he would give! As heard on ‘A Life With Bitachon’.
