Wonders 9 - 3 Functions

Hashem created our mouths to serve in 3 ways -
- as Eating machines
- for Speaking
- for Smiling.
This coresponds to the Mishna that the world stands on 3 pillars :
* Speak Torah
* Serve by eating with the intentions to maintain your health in order to serve Hashem.
* Use your Smile for Chesed.

This may also correspond to the Mishna , Avos ch. 5 , that Hashem created 3 unique mouths in History
- the mouth of the earth to swallow up those who would quarrel with who received the Torah.
- the mouth of a rock producing water for those who would eat & drink in order to have the energy to Serve Hashem who provides everything.
- the mouth of a talking donkey to admonish those who want to use their mouth to curse instead of blessing others.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
