Alef Bais Gimel

This weekend I read two articles in the Hamodia newspaper about people with tribulations in their life and how they cope with them.
The first article was about a prominent Pitsburgh judge, Dan Butler, whose son died of cystic fibrosis at the age of 24. Additionally, he has two sons that are autistic.
He lectures around the country, inspiring people with his threefold message.
First, he makes people aware of how "remarkably lucky we are to live in a frum society that is involved in so much chessed and offers so much support."
Secondly, he stresses that salvation can come in the blink of an eye.
Finally he tells people that, "we must be happy with what we have and appreciate the brochos that come to us every day."
A second article was about a rally in support of Sholom Rubashkin, former head of Agriprocessors. His wife, Mrs. Leah Rubashkin, was one of the speakers and she thanked the 1400 women and girls in the audience for their prayers , financial and emotional support.
"People ask me how do you manage?... How do you get through the day and face all your challenges?
The answer is simple - Alef Bais Gimel. Emunah and bitachon will bring the geulah we are waiting for..."
