Thank s Goes out to God and Channa Weissber for thevideos of her daughter and the invisible care taker. The stories help me to think of how God cares about us even when others may not seem to care. Reply

God's Eye for Beauty and Heart of Love I've never seen anything as beautiful as God's creation. Nothing else can compare in beauty. The land, the rivers, the oceans, the trees, flowers, animals, all show us a God of such goodness and generosity, full of tender mercies. When I gaze upon a sunrise or sunset and take in all the colors or when I see light shimmering on the ocean, I know God not only appreciates beauty, but IS beauty. When I see gentleness and compassion in an Alzheimer's patient as she interacts with another Alzheimer's patient, I see beauty of spirit linked with the love of God. Reply

Have you ever seen anything so beautiful Someone once said "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

I might dare to say: Beauty is in the lover's heart. Those who love unconditionally, as our Creator love us, do not expect anything back, but love.

What a beautiful feeling!!! Reply

Unending, Unconditional Love I saw him there, in a local nursing home, with his wife of many years. He so lovingly pushed her around in her wheelchair, gave her something cool to drink and brushed her hair. She had no idea who he even was yet he's there every day to take care of her and be with her as she ends her days in the confusion of Alzheimers. Reply

It was the words of a 4 or 5 year old girl,
"could you make it for him, too?"
I was making paper crans and giving them to the children of the Sudakevich family, a Chabad emissary in Tokyo.
Children like her age, or even adults like me are so selfish that if we get a gift, we do not ask for the same delight for our siblings, or friends.
But this 4 or 5 year old girl was not thinking just about herself, but was worried that her sibling may not get the gift as she did, and made sure he gets it, too.
I had never thought and said something like she did in my life. I can tell you tons of absolute beautiful of the Sudakevich family, this is one of them.
Their great grandmother of Rebbetzen Chana Sudakevich was murdered in Auschwitz, but the grandmother survived, and went to Israel, and now Chana-san is spreading the beauty of Chabad Chassidus in Japan. Reply
