Trusting the Journey

It is Motzei Pesach in Bnei Brak, and the bus stops are packed with families waiting to get back to Yerushalayim. An hour passes, then another half hour. When a bus finally pulls in, the sign says Rehovot. The passengers beg the driver, and what he does next, and what he tells one passenger on the road, is the story. Sarah Imeinu lived through captivity and years without children and still stayed calm. The Chovos HaLevavos explains how a person can live with that same steadiness.
