Description

The first thought of our day must be there is a Creator who woke us up to serve Him. Before davening we think we are going to speak to Him. We should think about Him regarding everything we do. We should speak to Hashem always thanking Him and making it clear that we know He gives and controls everything. We learn from Rebbe Akiva that a simple drip of water over and over can break through stone. This thought that Hashem is the Creator can slowly break through our heart if we continually think it. Depending on how much we think about Hashem, we will define what is good in life and what we choose to do, and our children will define what is good based on what we do.
