The Greatest Gift | Rabbi Meir Simcha Sperling

foreign [Music] I want to share with you a moshul and awesome  moshul very powerful perspective that comes out   from the module that I think perhaps could help  all of us in our work with shmiras and nayam so   there was a couple beautiful couple married for  10 years an amazing marriage and what was unique   about this couple is that they were both blind the  husband who was an extremely capable person always   used to take care of the wife he loved her so much  and if you would ask the wife she would say this   is like the quintessential husband and the same  thing the other way just a beautiful beautiful   marriage anyway the dream that this wife had  unbelievable she wanted to get an eye transplant   she had to see she couldn't live without seeing  it was very hard for them the husband was a little   bit less into it but the wife was like I need  to I need to and she begged the husband every   day please could we figure something out could  we raise the money could we find the doctor I I   want to see the color red color yellow I want to  see colors I want to see waterfalls I want to see   the sky I just want to see and begged and begged  the husband and the husband who loved her so much   did the best that he could used all his Estados  finally after a few years he raised all the money   needed for a transplant and when he finally called  the doctor and figured everything out it came out   that he was number 960. in line waiting for this  eye transplant so the doctor told them you know   we feel really bad and we're happy you got the  money but you're gonna have to wait 15 20 years   until you get this transplant because there's just  too many people in front of you and the wife was   devastated when she heard this devastated and  the husband felt so bad and he's like you know   what I'm gonna do more stylus Morris Dallas and  he leaves comes back the next day and he says to   his wife you're not going to believe what happened  you are next in line for the I challenge plan that   is happening next week start preparing get this  get that whatever they take care of everything a   week later the transplant is done and she has her  site for the first time in her life she opens her   eyes beautiful precious eyes and she sees the  color yellow and the color red and she looks   outside unbelievable anyways after some time she  realized that being married to a blind person   it's very hard you know before she was limited  he was limited so it was a beautiful marriage   but now she wants to see the world she wants to  go around she can't be stuck taking care of this   husband and she felt so bad and so broken but she  got her eyes for the first time she went over to   her husband who said my love I really do love you  and we had such an amazing awesome marriage but   I think it's time for me to move on because now I  could see and there's so many things I want to do   and I just like it's going to be too hard to take  care of you now remember this is after the husband   always always taking care of her all the earth and  the husband was broken as we could imagine broken   but he says I love you so much that I'm willing  to let you go if that's going to make you happy   I am willing to let you go anyways after they got  divorced so the wife or the ex-wife now comes into   her apartment and she's like wow she could see she  moved out and she walks in and there's a letter   on the table and it says from your husband says  Dear wife my beloved my beautiful I just want to   tell you something a little secret that I carry  with me before you go and that is that all these   years even though I told you I was blind I was  never blind and that's why I was so capable of   taking care of you but I just loved you and  I loved everything about you and that's why I   married you and I saw how broken you were when  we found out that it was going to take so long   to get the transplant I decided to give you my  eyes I decided to become blind forever in order   for you to be happy so before you go on your tour  and you check out the whole world just remember   that those are my eyes protect them take care  of them your husband the nimshell is that who   gives us an opportunity we have 70 80 90  100 120 years who lends us eyes he lends   us eyes and he says take care of them they're  precious they're mine I'm allowing you to use   them use them to do the right thing understand  the weight the value of the eyes that you have   if you understand the value of it you'll  know exactly what to look at and what   not to look at to remember where we get our  eyes from and only look at the right things
