Thank You from Mothers of Children with\u00a0 Mental Health Issues to their Support Group Leader<\/b><\/p>\n

Dear Rivka, Ezer Mizion, and all those involved,<\/p>\n

The time we spend together is such a warm, pleasant experience,
\nA weekly oasis, a breath of fresh air,
\nA station where we can fuel up with energy, \"\"
\nAn opportunity to fill our lagging engines with love and tranquility,
\nA place that has an answer to our every question.<\/p>\n

Have<\/b> we been divinely fated to scale an impossibly steep mountain –
\nOr perhaps we can smooth out the trail and turn it into a challenge?<\/p>\n

Is <\/b>our family “second-rate merchandise”
\nOr are we growing together to great heights?<\/p>\n

Can <\/b>we make things easier for our children – and if so, then how – \"\"
\nBy lending them our ego?<\/p>\n

Shall <\/b>we choose to take everything to heart and feel miserable?
\nOr should we rather take heart that through them, our own character is being built?<\/p>\n


\n<\/b>Should<\/b> we opt to become upset,
\nOr should we remain ready and set
\nTo understand, to sweeten the bitterness,
\nTo touch their inner selves, to be there with them<\/p>\n

Here we have learned
\n<\/b>To find the “gift” in each situation,
\nTo develop a new, constructive way of thinking,
\nTo strengthen ourselves with trust and faith.<\/p>\n

Rivka,<\/b><\/p>\n

You have filled our baskets
\nWith healing herbs, with ideas,
\nGiving us the strength to go on.
\nMay Hashem give you and all those who work selflessly at your side, your deserved reward, and may you be doubly Divinely blessed!<\/p>\n

With our deepest gratitude:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
