Who said man plans god laughs
Based on Parashat Balak and Haftarah on Micah. While we go about planning our days and lives, we sometimes learn that God has another plan. That was the case with my birth.
My dad, as a rabbi, struggled to make ends meet. He had three children when my mom got pregnant. Bris next Thursday mother children in perfect shape. Love Alex. My dad then sent this letter to my grandmother in Munich and Majorca as she was travelling between both locations and he wanted to make sure it arrived. He then recalled the hospital experience as he had been through it three times before. He was in the waiting room for five, ten, fifteen, then twenty minutes and getting very nervous as that was a longer time than before.
Finally, they called him to the delivery room which was unusual as they usually wheeled out the mother. Siddhant books view quotes. Mar 27, PM. Dennis 2, books view quotes.

Why do gods laugh? How do you make God laugh? I get seasick on boats. The smaller the boat, the more severe the illness. By the end, covered in bug bites, exhausted from the experience, starving for the city, a hot meal, and my comforter, I'd realized nature life was not all I had imagined it to be. Just last week I got stuck in the trap again. Before I got married, I had fantasies of Shabbat dinner at our home. We would sit down perfectly dressed at a beautifully set table with flowers, with candles, with the aroma of a gourmet meal wafting through the house.
As a mother of three small children, I have found out that if we can all manage to sit together at the table for five minutes, it is a miracle. We use paper plates because glass shatters. We use plastic tablecloths because wine stains. The candles can never be on the table because my children are little pyromaniacs. And our favorite smell is pizza. So when a Shabbat dinner goes especially wrong, like ours did just last week, it can seem symbolic of something much bigger.
Is my marriage in trouble? Do we have "problem" children? You would have thought that in adulthood having realized that dogs give me hives and apartment rent in Los Angeles surpasses that of most castles I would have let go of my improbable fantasies and root myself in reality.
Even though "I knew," I still got angry. It felt like God was laughing at me. He was making a mockery out of my life. If God and I both knew that Cinderella was not real, why was I still waiting for my "happily ever after"?
Happily Ever After? It never occurred to me that God might be waiting for his "happily ever after" too. God too may feel that some of his plans have not gone as he wanted and that we were laughing at him. It all started with Adam and Eve. They had only one rule, and they broke it.
