Within the pages of the book of Shemot / Exodus in our Holy Torah, we are given a lesson in gratitude hidden within the text for us to discover and receive as an instruction from God to apply to our lives.

(Ya’akov / James 1:22-25) Don’t deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it! For whoever hears the Word but doesn’t do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror, who looks at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But if a person looks closely into the perfect Tora ...
“HaShem said to Kayin (Cain), “Why are you so angry? Why so downcast? If you are doing what is good, shouldn’t you hold your head high?
