I can’t remember a more significant disappointment in my 85-year life. I would have liked to invite relatives and friends to a banquet at Restaurant First, Ottikon/Kemptthal ZH.

For financial reasons, I must hereby cancel all invitations. I am very sorry, but it was not the will of God, my highest will. (Matthew 7:21)

A disappointment is a release from a deception. This is a great opener, the starting point for completely new experiences. I had a special one right at the Shabbat entrance meal. It is my habit to eat the salad left-handed directly from the bowl. Thereby I had to fight increasingly against the trembling. Surprised, I found that my left hand functioned completely without tremors; a miracle, after the disappointment experienced just before.

Since God does not make mistakes, the disappointment was not accompanied by actual emotions but had been experienced in full consciousness. Thank you, dear Father! Throughout the time before Shabbat began at 6:26 p.m. (deadline), my thoughts had been composed.

There is great future potential in liberation. The word “quantum leap” in faith, has come to my mind; reason for many more diary entries.
