A Lesson for Today

I had been searching and wanting to buy a certain toothpaste. Unfortunately, I was unable to find it at the original store from which I had purchased it. I had been looking and waiting for a little more than a week. Meanwhile, we are currently using our last tube of this particular toothpaste. The pressure is starting to mount a bit, my wife really prefers this particular toothpaste. I start searching other nearby stores. There is one store that is close that I think about going to, but I am doubtful that they will have it. I tried other stores, but, to no avail, I wasn't able to find the toothpaste. This morning, I decided to try a store that I don't usually shop at, but I really wanted this toothpaste and I thought perhaps, just maybe they may have it in stock. This store is further for me to walk to, so I don't usually shop there. They didn't have it. Disappointment, was my extra walking in vain? I prayed to the Eternal Creator for a successful day. I retraced my steps and walk to the other store that I originally had my doubts about. I walk in and start searching for the correct aisle. I find the section for toothpaste. I look on the bottom shelves and B'h, they have the toothpaste that I want. I make the purchase, give gratitude and enjoy my day. How did your extra effort pay off today?
