Light After Darkness

“Whoever feels pain at the beginning, will be calm at the end. And no one has felt pain at the beginning more than Abraham: he was thrown into the oven, had to abandon his father’s home, was chased by sixteen kings, went through ten challenges and buried Sarah. But in the end he was calm, as it is written: ‘In time Abraham became old, while God had blessed him in everything’ (Gen. 24:1)”   Midrash Tanhuma, Ekev, art. 3

There is a wheel in the universe.  It ever turns.  Everything is seen and accounted for and we find reward for our faithfulness.....
