Appreciate Your Kidneys

Sometimes you are anxiously awaiting for something. It could be a paycheck, to get married, to have a baby, to get a job, for the Chazan to start chazaras hashatz already, for traffic to clear up, for the lady in front of you in the supermarket who bought enough food for the next six months [K'NEIN A HORA!!] to check out and pay for everything, for your wife to be ready to leave to go to the wedding [hey, see how fast YOU can put on makeup], etc. etc. 

Consider this: There are over 113,000 people waiting for a kidney donor in the United States. About 20 people die EVERY DAY waiting for that kidney. 

Perspective. 

And something to think about next time you say Asher Yatzar.
