" A man seeks employment on a farm. He hands his letter of recommendation to his new employer. It reads simply," he sleeps in a storm" The owner was desperate for help , so he hires the man. Several weeks passed, and suddenly, in the middle of the night, a powerful storm rips through the valley. Awakened by the swirling rain and howling wind, the owner leaps out of bed. He calls for his new hired hand but the man is sleeping soundly. So he dashes off to his barn, to his amazement, the animals are secure with plenty of feed. He runs out to the field. He sees bales of wheat have been bound and are wrapped in tarpaulins. He races to the silo. The doors are latched and the grain is dry. And then he understands what was meant by "he sleeps in a storm." The reb then says, " My friends, if we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those that we love and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere , our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in agony of " I could have, i should have." and we can sleep in a storm. When its time, our good-byes will be complete. "
