Are you counting the days til Channukah?
Why Me?
OK, here's a true story for your table that happened to someone I know this week.
Let's call him Steve.
Like many people, Steve has had a few health issues the past couple years. Each problem individually always seems manageable. The thing is, as soon as he gets one under control, another one always seems to pop up.
Do you know anyone like that? (In truth, I know several "Steves" who fit this description.)
This week he had one of those moments.
It was the morning a couple days ago. He was doing some chores around the house, thinking, "I actually feel pretty good today!" which is always a great feeling, especially when you don't feel that way every day.
Immediately upon having that thought, he gets down on the floor to fix something in the kitchen and when he starts to get up, he feels a wrenching pain in his knee and cannot get off the floor.
The first question for your table: If it were you, how would you yourself react at that moment?
Steve tells me that two words came to mind at that moment: Why me?
So let's pose this as the second question for your table: What's your answer to Steve — why him?
