This was given to me by a friend and I pass it on to each of you....have a beautiful and blessed EASTER...for HE has risen!




The Train of Life:



THIS IS VERY BEAUTIFUL


I AM HONORED TO HAVE RECEIVED IT.




NOW, ON TO YOU MY FRIEND!






At birth we board the train and meet our parents,


and we believe they will always travel at our side.


However, at some station


our parents will step down from the train,


leaving us on this journey alone.


As time goes by,


other people will board the train;


and they will be significant


i.e. our siblings, friends, children,


and even the loves of our lives.


Many will step down


and leave a permanent vacuum.


Others will go so unnoticed


that we don't realize


they vacated their seats.


This train ride will be full of joy,


sorrow, fantasy, expectations,


hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.


Success consists of having a good relationship


with all passengers,


requiring that we give the best of ourselves.


The mystery to everyone is:


We do not know at which station


we ourselves will step down.


So, we must live in the best way,


love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.


It is important to do


this because when the time comes for us to step down


and leave our seats empty


we should leave behind beautiful memories


for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.


I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life.


Reap success and give lots of love.


More importantly, thank God for the journey.


Lastly, I thank you


for being one of the passengers on my train.





When I step off the train of life I will be glad you were part of my journey.

Paul, I enjoyed your post. There are issues currently in my life that make it timely for me.

It is easy to believe our train stop is further down the line than it may be. But God, or fate (if you are a non believer) does not share where our scheduled stop will be. Sometimes, as with cancer, we may know it is near....other times, the journey is interrupted quickly.
