In the last year or so, I happened to be busy building a library mostly of Jewish and Torah oriented books. I can not say that I am a maven about the details of the Israeli conflicts, but that said, one book I purchased was a book about the Conflict that I purchased from Feldheim.com. I purchased it among a few other titles and I admit, I had not been ready to delve into its content. In the time over a period of about 3 years or so, I purchased books several times. In another time I purchased the exact same book twice. I did not even realize what I had done. In September of 2010, I had four friends visit and they took note of some of my books on my shelf. I happened to have one friend who lauged hysterically that I had two copies of the exact same book on my book shelf. That said I have quite a slighly not too organized by title book shelf and piles of books in my bedroom. So it was not just funny, but it was crazy when a moment and a half to follow, the other friend I had over was to note that not only did I have two copies of this book, I had THREE. He somehow eagle eyed that there was a third copy of the exact same book. I thought, that is really unusual. I remembered recently purchasing what was to be the Third book. But that said, I realized at that point that something very unusual did in fact take place. I knew when I ordered my books that there was a guiding hand in my book selection. That said, a few days later, my mother and father were to leave for a small reunion of a few family members in Phoenix including my brother and sister. I had not even considered giving either a gift, but guess what? Three books means one for each of us. I can not say I am trying to push their keys into the doorway of Israeli needs, but guess what... Maybe our Creator wanted it to be that way. Could that be? Could it be that these three books were meant to be? They say that every thing in the universe and in our experiences is meant to be right? If it happened it was meant to be. So I personally believe that it was meant to be a gift. I can not say that I have been reading the book yet myself but I am certain a time will exist when I read more than the first few chapters I have so far explored.
So situation solved. I had a nice gift for my brother and sister and maybe I had some testimony of G-ds enduring love and good will and benevolence. Thats my take on this. I can't imagine a G-d in the universe would make me buy three books unless there was a real lesson to learn. So thats that. Enjoy.
