Once Upon a Time


By: Yehuda Berg

Sunday, November 2

Throughout our lives there will be many people who will help us. These very same people might, in time, not help us and even turn away from us.

It is in our nature to forget what someone has once done for us in the past when they are not doing for us today. But the Kabbalists say if one has done us a favor once, we must always remember it. This is a difficult task indeed.

Think of someone in your life with whom you are currently at odds, someone who helped you out in a major way, once upon a time. See if you can call up the appreciation and gratitude you once felt towards this person.
