Greater Reward!

A little girl won a strand of fake pearls in a spelling bee.When she returned home that day after school she carefully showed them to her father, her face shining with glee!...later that evening her father came to tuck her in to bed and say shema.

He asked her

"my daughter do you love me?"

to which she replied

"of course daddy!"

"would u give me anything he then asked"?

she nodded fervently

"may I have ur necklace of pearls"?

he asked...

"Daddy,"

she sighed

"I'll give u anything, take my dolls...My stickers..anythings besides those pearls"

slightly disappointed in his daughters reply he kissed her good night and left the room.

The same scenario we occur night after night until one evening he came to her room and asked

" Do you love me" ?

"Would you do anything for me"

again she nodded in response.

but before he had the chance to open his mouth she held out with her tiny fists with tears streaming from her eyes. Taking the pearls from her hand, a large smile spread over his face as he handed her a small velvet box. She looked at him curiously as she took it. She opened the lid and squealed in excitment. In her hands she now help a strand of real genuine pearls!

This is a lesson for us we are now in a world where we just need to try and do good, and we know its hard and there are so many challegens and experiences we go through everyday in our lives, but we know that in the end its worth it! there are so many things out there that are not good for us and we have temptations to do them but we know that once we conquer our Yetzer Horah and get over it by not doing it, And looking beyond all this because there's a greater thing out there!...that's what's gonna bring moshiach!

like the little girl who didn't want to give her father the pearls.. But in the end she gave it up because she knew she would get a greater reward..

So by us giving up all the things we know arent so good.. G-d will give us an even greater reward and that is Moshiach....

Love you chanale...
