Israel is a great place to visit and increase your own emuna. It seems like today is a day of contemplation. The purpose of life, all the things we do to entertain ourselves while the whole time we may forget we even have a Creator do to the busy lives we live. It's easy to forget when there is a job to go to and customers that have so many demands and then come home to more work and the issues  awaiting us there. I've learned to reduce my own stress by turning off the radio as I drive to work. I have about a 25 minute drive each morning. During this time I talk to Our Creator about anything and everything that affects my life and the lives of my loved ones. Mostly I just praise Him for His great kindnesses to me. Even when things seem to be negative. I don't have air conditioning in my car and the heat is excessive when I get out of work and head home. I have to leave all my windows open and have the wind blowing in order to travel. It doesn't matter, because that becomes a time of praise for me. I am thankful to have a car to drive and the money to put gas into it. Some day this heat will be done and I'll be able to travel without the windows open. Many people don't even have a car. So, when you think you have it bad...maybe the bad is actually good if you can rearrange your thinking and start praising Our Creator!
