Avraham Avinu Teaches Us How to Have Patience!
Look how everyone is going around with loads of baby carriages and strollers, including all the Reshaim of the Dor, like Anshei Sedom (and there were plenty other Reshaim those days) and Avraham the Tzadik has no children. And both his Zechus and Sara the Tzadekes, and all the unending goodness of these people and their Torah and Kedusha and Tz'niyus and breaking Middos and Bitachon to the extreme and Mesirus Nefesh helped zero. People used to make fun of Avraham and call him a barren mule!
If you like nice P'shetlach on the Parsha then it’s fine. But if you want to take these Parshiyos seriously and incorporate them into your own life, and Avraham and Sara are alive in your mind, then this Parsha will calm you down a lot, and teach you patience! סֹוף הַּכָבֹוד לָבֹוא You will eventually get what you want! They had to wait 90-100 years to get their life’s dream, i.e., having children. And look at Avraham Avinu’s background! Terach was a Rasha, and the right-hand man of the world-famous Rasha, Nimrod. And he reported his son’s “misbehavior” of crashing his “holy” idols, which caused Avraham Avinu to be thrown into the fire!
And look how Avraham Avinu is famous for the Kibud Av for his “Alter Terach”! Terach sounds like Sinwar, Y'mach Sh'mo (L'havdil) who said that he has 9 kids: 3 are for the fire, 3 are for some kind of torture of being captured, and 3 are to stick around! Avraham Avinu didn’t mind being a “failure” and having no children. He didn’t care about: מַה יֹאמְרּו הַּבְרִיֹות What will people say?? He served Hashem, and not people’s opinions.
