A 70 year old man

A 70 year old man had his Tefillin checked and was informed that they were not Kosher. Naturally, he bought a new pair, but then he called his children and grandchildren to come for a great party. They all came, and at the party he was exceedingly happy. His joy caused them to wonder what was going on, so he explained to them that the source for his great happiness is the knowledge that from now on he will be wearing Kosher Tefillin.

It says in Tikunei Zohar, that when one wears Tefillin and Tzitzis it is as if he did all the 613 mitzvoth. It also says that wearing tzitzis is like preparing a throne for Hashem (so to speak), and the Tefillin is the name of Hashem - it is the King, the G-dliness, that sits upon the throne.
