Jews like to count, from money to days to letters of Torah and their gematria. Counting keeps us sane. But choose what counts most for you.
There are kings and counts. God is the king and we are the counts. God counts us like He counts the stars in heaven. We count most for Him.
Even before meeting Jacob Rachel knew that she was destined to marry him. Her beautiful countenance came from counting the days to marry him.
Leah thought that her destiny was to marry Esau, but her tears changed her destiny. "The gates of tears (to heaven) are never locked."
