Happy Father's Day!!!!
This morning my darling husband and I were reflecting on the miracle of life, and he was quoting somebody or other describing conception as taking the throwaway nocturnal emissions and the contents of menstruation and combining them to produce a perfect creature in the image of G*d. (I'm paraphrasing, but then again, so was he).
This gave me the perfect intro to today's teaching, from the beginning of Chapter 3:
Akavia the son of Mahalalel would say: Reflect upon three things and you
will not come to the hands of transgression. Know from where you came,
where you are going, and before whom you are destined to give a
judgement and accounting. From where you came--from a putrid drop; where
you are going--to a place of dust, maggots and worms; and before whom
you are destined to give a judgement and accounting--before the supreme
King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.
Yes, we are nothing, we come from nothing, and we have infinite possibility before us.
I hope you enjoyed this series!!!
