I was at a shabbos teshuva drasha this past shabbos from Rabbi Fischel Schacter, and just one of the points that were mentioned that I thought is really applicable- Any tough situation someone is in- they have two choices- they can either be all mad about it and cause a whole ruckus, or they can smile and make the best of it. And he summarized with an amazing story- How this girl was in a fire and her face was heavily scarred. And in school, a girl made fun of her, and she came home crying and really feeling low. Her grandmother told her to take the pain that shes feeling and use it to daven for a shidduch being that it is going to be harder for her. Anyway she did and she got married to an amazing boy who did not have any defects and even ppl were anazed how she managed to get such a gem. The point was so beatuiful that i thoght its s/t nice i would share.
