AS A PARENT OF A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD, I FOUND THIS ARTICLE OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE TO GO ON BELIEVING THAT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO US HAS A REASON. I HOPE TO REINSTITUTE THIS PRAYER IN MY DAILY ACTIVITY. KUDOS TO DR. PRAGER

Wanted you to know that your story about the "bathroom blessing" is still blessing others.

That was a beautiful story - thank you. I like the idea of teaching the prayer to young people - they are so energetic and funny and shy at the same time about bodily functions. I think the ones who laugh and giggle the most - are the ones who later stand in awe of the simple things that really are blessings....

We cannot thank Hashem enough for His blessings. We are wonderfully made and should thank Him for everything.

How about printing a copy of the prayer for us?
Many thanks. Great learning and reflective articles on this site.

A beautifully written dedication to the wisdom of the sages. May your family know only of happiness in the future!

I think that the chofetz chaim writes that saying the blessing with kavana would avoid any health problems. In the current day and age, this is obviously something needing strengthening!

Thank you for expressing this beautiful concept that we all should think about. I discovered the bracha's meaning after a burst appendix. We can also think about being thankful that today, with Hashem's help, doctors can heal so many serious conditions to allow us to continue living and serving G-d.

Often the common things in our life are not appreciated. The test of our thankfulness is recognizing these, as well as the larger events that every eye can see.

Thank you. A week ago Monday I was take to the ER where, when all was over they told me I had passed a kidney stone. My only symptom up to the sudden pain was difficulty using the privy. I try to say this Bracha with Kavana (concentration and proper intent), but it's so easy to take everything for granted. Already 2 weeks later, the sensitivity has begun to diminish. With Hashem's help, perhaps your timely article will add to my ability to sustain that Kavana longer.

It was not until my stomach became paralyzed, and I struggle daily to eat enough for sustanance, that I came to fully appreciate the meaning of this prayer in my life.
