there was a there was a husband and a wife who were blind and one day the husband was listening to a commercial on the radio they said they just came out for the first time with eye transplants just like you do a heart transplant and a kidney transplant and a lung transplant that they could take the eyes of a person who's brain dead and transplanted to you and evenly and you'll be able to see just came out he was listening to this and he said and they have a phone they had a phone number so he told his wife oh my gosh oh my gosh we could get your eyesight back i'm going to call the number and he calls the number and he calls her and says they only have one set of eyes available right now go to the hospital and they'll they'll do the eye transplant she's like no what about you but then you can't see either he said no no don't worry about it okay she's all excited imagine a person who's blind only sees darkness is not gonna be able to see herself and and the world so she goes to the hospital with her husband and he takes it to the hospital and they do the eye transplant and the doctors take off the bandages and it's amazing she's able to see and she goes to work and the guy the boss that she worked with really liked her and now that she could see she wasn't blind anymore he's thinking maybe i could steal her away from her husband he says sir listen your husband this doesn't work whatever it is what i could do for you is if you marry me i will take you on a tour of the world will go to all the exotic places we'll do the safaris but you gotta leave him and she's like pretty sad but the bottom line is she wants to see the world so he comes home and there's a letter on his bed dear i'm so sorry but now that i could see i really want to see the world and my boss offered to me that if i get divorced and marry him and i know that you love me and you want the best for me um you can read the letter please what listen listen listen um okay um if you if you if it's

that i have given you my eyes so that you can see me and our future children but now that you have left me please use my eyes the best that you can for yourself love he was never blind he could always see he never let her know when he married her that he was any different than her and he felt that you know what until now i could see i don't need to tell her that there were no eyes available to give her there was a waiting list of 20 years he gave his eyes to her and what did he she'd do with his eyes that he gave to her to see him all she saw was this new guy and she left everything a very sad story that's not the ending that we want he gave his eyes so she could see him and then she went out for the guy wow that didn't work out well girls and everyone who's listening every morning i hope i don't know how many of you dabbing but whoever dives every single morning this is the same story we do to hashem eloquentis the eyes that you gave me the soul that you gave me akhtar barasa you created it you formed it this beautiful soul atana factor but you put the soul in me to us and you will one day take it from me and one day return to me khal's manchester united as long as i'm alive and i have this beautiful soul beautiful eyes moa daily foreign thank you hashem for giving me my nashamah this morning every day we make a barakah thank you hashem for giving man to shama this morning and what do we do with those eyes we don't use it to see hashem she didn't use it to see her husband we go off with another guy with the haha we use those eyes that hashem gave me this morning to see him to go watch a movie the mouth that he gave me to talk i use it against him i talk watching hara then a shaman that he gave me i use it against him you gave me life and all day long to do a virus why are you any different than this girl who got this pair of eyes and then instead of using it to see her husband when he gave it to her she uses it to see everything else god gave us life to see him to be with him and we use it to be with everybody else same letter from hashem same letter so what we say in the morning is hashem i will use this nasham i will use this beautiful thing that you gave me that you gave me life i will use it to see you i will use it to hear you i will use it to taste you through the things that you have created i will use it to feel you all my five senses that we use to be connected to you instead he gives us this beautiful thing and we use it to go off with a guy at work so to say with the sahara with the sucker you don't want to be the girl in this story that someone gave you eyes to see and then you run out on the person that gave you the eyes to see but isn't that something that we do every day we need to think about that when we get up or we go to sleep at night you gave me the ability to see i used it to see people in trouble to see other people's pain to see how i could help you gave me a mouth to talk to give other people because you gave me an ear to hear to be able to sit and listen to when people talk to me you gave me a mouth to to to eat and i make a buck on everything that i eat you gave me hands and feet you gave me feet to go not to a movie theater or to places i should not go you gave me feet to go to seminary shule and to help my parents and to do what i have to that's why you gave me hands and then at night we could say hashem says you know what i gave you my eyes i gave you my speech i give you a soul and she's using it for good stuff let's give it again to her tomorrow we say it every morning all kind of shaman
