Hakaras Hatov
In Parshas Shemos we learn about Moshe as a baby being placed in the basket in the Nile and then subsequently we are taught the story of how Moshe killed the Mitzri and buried him in the sand. Moshe then disappears off the scene for about forty years, during which we hear nothing about him in the Torah and only what we can piece together from midrashim.
Based on the last fact, it's clear to us that not every story that took place in Moshe's life appeared in the Torah only those from which we learn out something. What do we learn out from the fact that he killed the Mitzri and buried him in the sand?
We fast forward to this week's parsha, parshas Vaera. Moshe is commanded by Hashem to bring about the makos on Mitzrayim. However, when it comes to the makos of dom, tzefardea and kinim, it is Aharon that brings them about not Moshe. Why not Moshe?
Chazal tell us that the reason is that dom and tzefardea came from the water and kinim came from the dirt of Mitzrayim. Moshe owed the water hakaras hatov for saving his life when he was a baby, and the dirt for saving his life when he buried the Mitzri. This is mind-boggling. Firstly, we are talking about two inanimate objects. Secondly, the dirt didn't even save Moshe. The next day already word got back to Paroh as to what happened.
The moral is obviously, even though the dirt is inanimate AND it didn't really do a great job of saving Moshe, nevertheless Moshe owed the dirt hakaras hatov, and I'm sure that's why that story is included in the Torah. How many people, let alone inanimate objects play such a vital role in our lives. Do we ever take the time to truly appreciate them and show them proper hakaras hatov?
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my readers and especially those that comment on my blog. There is no question that I get a certain satisfaction seeing, that of all blogs you chose to come to read mine (among others obviously) and when you take the time to comment, that's really the icing on the cake and makes it all worthwhile and truly satisfying.
Thanks.

And the opposite is true! How many times do people throw or hit inanimate things in anger? Now look at how Moshe was punished for hitting the rock at Mei Meriva.... Scary stuff!
AFI - It is our pleasure.
and Thank You for having this blog..to read...
It's kind of frightening, although we are not expected to reach Moshe's level, how much are we lacking in his Midoh? I know I don't have Hakaros Hatov to various things that make my life more comfortable.
Do I have enough of it when dealing with people? I really hope so.
I'd like to take this opportunity to than your comments on my blog.
