now. What pushed me to write was my own Tehillim Chof Kuf most citing in the hug from Hashem I felt with it. I'm 25 years old, the oldest in my family. She describes a particular challenge or issue she was going through. When on a Friday, she was very upset. She wanted to break. There were two more hours until Shabbos coming in. I decided to leave the house and go to Target to cool down and gather my thoughts. Due to the Friday afternoon traffic, Waze instructed me to get off an exit before I usually do and take some side streets to get to Target. I've never gone this way before. I've I've never gone this way before. I've never seen the streets in my life. As I was nearing Target, I was waiting by a traffic light and looked out my window to see a shop awning with Hebrew writing on it. This area isn't part of the Jewish community, so I was surprised to see Hebrew letters. As I got closer to the shop, I felt Hashem gave me a huge warm hug. Someone's frustrated, had a certain conflict, just went for a ride couple hours to Shabbos, retail therapy, Target. Target solves all the problems. Certainly it does not. Creates sometimes some new ones. But anyway, some new ones. But anyway, as she's driving in this area not near her home, on the awning some Hebrew. And what was on the awning in quotations? The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack. Psalm 23. Here it is. A tire store, and on the awning of the tire store, aleph daleth nun yud. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack. Not in the Jewish neighborhood, not in a religious neighborhood, a tire store with aleph daleth nun yud. The uh Can I throw this out, man? I don't know. Shame Hashem.
