I was watching an Arutz Shevathon Fundraiser and heard one of the hosts talking about the upcoming holiday of Tu Bishvat. He said that Tu Bishvat is the holiday of being makir tov, of showing gratitude to G-d for all the things he gives us.
This morning, I caught a video about Parshat Beshalach in which Rabbi Finman poses the question as to why we don't get manna from heaven just as the Israelites received their daily portion during their sojourn in the desert.
Rabbi Finman answered, "Ultimately we are getting manna from heaven. We just have to recognize where our food is coming from."
As I entered the supermarket to make my food purchases this afternoon, it was with a greater appreciation of all the good that G-d bestows upon us.
