Hamotzi Lechem Min Hashamayim

OK, Jeopardy fans, that's the answer, now what was the question? The question was, "What bracha did the Bnei Yisrael make on the mon in the desert?"

I was recently reflecting (with the help of my rav) on a very interesting concept. The mon was probably the greatest daily mitzva ever recorded. Every morning, the Bnei Yisrael woke up and outside their door was this "stuff" that tasted like anything you wanted it to. Think about the following, let's look at someone that was born a week after matan torah, and grew up in the desert. Now it's just before they enter into Eretz Yisrael, he/she is almost forty years old. In that person's mind the mon wasn't a "miracle", it's just the way things have always been. Yet we, who have never had or seen the mon think of it as an incredible miracle.
It makes me stop and think. Thinking about all the things that Hashem has given us on a regular basis and we, or at least I, probably never appreciated so much because it's something that we've always had. The rain, sunlight, my family, our health, our ability to see, hear, speak, smell, etc. etc. etc.
Looking at it now makes me realize just how miraculous all of that actually is. Boruch Hashem ....... asher lo azav chasdo va'amito........
