Chol Hamoed Miracle! - R. Avrohom Ebstein - TorahAnytime.com

This is going back about 20 years ago. There was a Yiddis who drove a tender for his paranas. A tender is a big van, a sprinter for transit and he took people to different places. He picked up people from the airport. He drove a tender for his paras and the air condition in his tender broke. So he called his local mechanic from and he said that his air condition broke. When will he have time to fix his van? So the mechanic looked at his calendar and he said I'll be able to fit you in on. He's like perfect. And he thought to himself I don't work. I don't drive anyone. I don't do any business. Perfect is a perfect time. and he put him down in the calendar that he's going to bring in his van on. After the phone call, he thought to himself, he's like, "One second, I don't work because doesn't want us working on. So why would I make another work? I don't want even maybe." Nope. That's not the right thing to do. So he called back the mechanic and said is not going to work out. could you fit me in maybe before Yantiff? So he's like, "Sure." Took a look at his calendar. He's like, "Two days before Yantiff. Bring your van in and I'll fix it then." He's like, "Sure, no problem." And he's thinking to himself, you know, 2 days before Yantiff, it's a very busy season. Lots of people need rides to the airport. From the airport, I might lose out. But he told himself, "I'm going to do it. I'm going to drop my van off before Yantiff. I don't want to cause somebody to work on. This is the right thing to do and will take care of me. Two days before Yantiff, he dropped off his van by the mechanic. And throughout the day, he's taking care of all his Yantiff preparations. And over the day, he was getting so many phone calls. People need a ride here. People need to be picked up from the airport. And he thought to himself, I'm losing out. And he made a calculation from all the phone calls that he received. He would have made a profit of a,000 shekele if he would have took all those jobs. And he thought to himself, I'm losing out a thousand shekele. What's going to be? But he told himself, "This is the right thing to do. Hakadesh has many ways how to send money. If wants me to have a,000 shekel, he'll send it to me another way." And after the day was over, he came home and he took a look in his mailbox and he found an envelope addressed to his name and he brought it inside and opened it up and he opened up the envelope and in the envelope was a,000 shekele with a note and the person wrote to him I owe you a thousand shackle from my old it's been a while that I didn't pay you this was involved in somewhat of I hope you that he didn't pay you till now and you probably don't even remember and he asked his wife do you remember what's this when did we lend anyone a thousand shekele he's trying to remember it's addressed to his name and the person writes that he owes him the money and he doesn't remember and he still can't figure out where's this money from but one thing he realized that he did what's right he didn't work a and he didn't want to cause someone else to work And he knew that he's not going to lose out. And he was right. He didn't lose out. Sent him the money. You supposed to have another way, a miraculous
