I like to think of my anagramming skill as being a gift from HaShem, because I find it calming and it brings me a kind of inner peace. Here's another one for you, Hannibal:
האניבאל (Hannibal) = אהבניאל (Ahavniel)
Ahavniel is a Hebrew name that means "G-d loves me." A good name for you, Hannibal.
Have you ever had something especially wonderful in your life come to you unexpectedly, that you are convinced was a special gift from HaShem/G-d?
Do you believe that HaShem chooses to give us extraordinary gifts from time to time? If you do believe this, then do you have a personal experience regarding this? If you don't believe this, I'd like to hear about that, too.
I'm asking this, because I think that I've recently had such an experience, and I'm curious as to what others think on the subject.
Um...constantly, Rachel!!
Too many to even write about....and I have many times on many forums.
Gifts that are a bit too much, too impossible for most to believe...so I am shy now to share them.
Gifts as if dropped right from Heaven...flung outta space.
So many...oh my...and each time I am humbled and in awe...but never surprised...why?
Cuz He is my Father and I am His beloved. That is the relationship...forever.

Always be grateful. To be alive and well is gift enough.
I was in the Texas DPS getting a drivers license renewal, and I had to wait 45 minutes outside and then like 3 hours inside in a building crammed full of people. To me, this was a miserable experience, akin to being in prison though in prison you could presumably settle down and at some point do some activity. This was 3 hours of absolute nothing, you couldn't even take a nap because your number could be called (though some people did.)
So to keep myself occupied I wrote a list of things I could be grateful for about that situation, and surprisingly I listed about 11 things.

I'll bet that writing that list also helped to lower your blood pressure!

I think alot of Texans figure out what DPS to go to, you drive 30 min to a small place, and there is no line.

Everyone who read this post and understood it, has at least 3 gifts, that are taken for granted:
1. gift of life
2. gift of intelligence
3. gift of Self-ness. I mean - Self-ness, I-ness, as being I/Self vs all the rest.
One who thinks about it, will understand, how immense those un noticed gifts really are.
What is there else to ask for?
