Things can go wrong in the blink of an eye. One moment, all
appears well. The next moment, everything can change. No matter how well we
plan, we can’t protect ourselves from life’s upsets. One of my favorite Yiddish
expressions: “Mann Tracht, und Gott Lacht.” (Man/woman plans, and God laughs.)
It’s not what happens to us, but how we respond, that matters the most. We can
respond with disappointment and anger, or we can look for the miracles and
divine interventions.
