Wow! How'd You Do That?

For Reason's explained in the attached Shu-Shine (and consistent with its message!), last week's Shu-Shine is coming to you today. So this Shabbat you get a double-portion of the 'Shine'! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Sometimes we are so amazed by our own abilities. Man, I'm cool! Boy am I smart! Girlfriend, check me out! But is it really us? Or are we somehow enabled by a Deeper and Higher Source? Is it just blind luck that I have the power or the gifts, or have they been given to me as a Trust? And if they are given to me in Trust -- if it is, indeed, a partnership, what is the ultimate highest use of these gifts? Attached please find this weeks Shu-Shine on the Torah portion of 'Ekev': "Wow! How'd You Do That?" (click "Listen Now", below!) May we all be blessed to always remember the Source of our strength and wisdom and material gifts, and to use them with a purpose that respects that Sacred partnership. With Love and a Smile, ~Shu
