“The Train of Life”

Image
       Periodically I am moved by a poem or quote that I have read or received.  If you follow me, you know that one of those poems is by  Rudyard Kipling “If.”    The Train of Life  At birth, we board the train and meet our parents, and we believe they will always travel by our side. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. Others will step down over time and leave a permanent vacuum. Some, however, 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 stati...

Giving Up on Life

  Yes, People Can Die From Giving Up on Life! How many of you have family? How manu of you and your family get together? How often does this Get Together Occur? How many of you get together during a holiday, birthday, special activity? How many of you remember someone, "Whoes Not Family," who has little to no one? How many of you think of those who, "are not family," but are in and out of your life on a fair bases? How many of them do you know, that has family or none at all, or has very little visits? Did you contact them? Visit Them? Let them know you're thinking of them, or is it just when you needed something from them?        A study published in  ScienceDirect  examined the condition, which "describes people who respond to traumatic stress by developing extreme apathy, give up hope, relinquish the will to live and die, despite no obvious organic cause."       When this  phenomenon occurs, when someone experiences a trauma, and...

Christ Is Coming!

Image
        Little by little, the  world is realizing  that the "Bible" is  not a fairy tale. Jesus is coming back!       People challenge me every day about God & Christ. One of "their" biggest tant is, Prove God or Jesus exist. Prove He (They) do not! That is a reversal tactic used by those who "Do Not Want" to beleive that God or Jesus exist.      Wind, Heat, Cold, Oxygen, we "Can Not See" them, so, Do they not exist? Of course they exist! We can feel the wind, heat and cold. However, we "can not" see, feel or smell Oxgen, therefore, to those who challange that God & Jesus exist, are also, challenging to prove that oxgen exist.         To prove that oxgen exist, it is a colorless , odorless reactive gas, the chemical element of atomic number 8 or chemical element symbol O and the life-supporting component of the air.     Easy to prove it exists because, "If breat...

Who Holds The Future?

Image
   I want to explain something to you. I don't know what your future will be, but I know who really holds it, Jesus. (Psalms 31:15) My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.   You see, you come from a long line of generation, From your parents, they from their parents, an so forth generation to you and you to your child or children and forth. (Psalms 49:11) Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. Some of you will have a child by 14, others by 20, 30, 40, God's Gift. (Psalms 127)   3. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.  4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.  5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the g...

Our Train of Life Journey

Image
   Life is like a journey on a train with its stations, changing of routes, and accidents.    At birth, we boarded the train and met our parents and believe they will always travel by our side.    There comes a time and at some station our parents will step down from the train leaving us on this journey alone.    As times goes by, other people will board the train and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life.    On the journey, many will depart that will leave a permanent vacuum and others will go so unnoticed, that we haven’t realize that they vacated their seats long before and very sad when you think about it.    This train ride, will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes and farewells and the success consists of having a good relationship with all the passengers aboard and requiring that we give the best of ourselves on that journey. ...

New way of life

Image
   One day, I was walking on a cold winter night, because I couldn’t sleep, and I must have took a shortcut and lost my way with it getting late and cold, I felt alone.     Out of nowhere, a elderly man took my hand and led me home, somehow I knew no-one else could see Him, thou He was walking there beside me.     Somehow, I just knew in my heart, He was the answer to my long lost prayers. With life held of troubled times, and have us down to our knees, there's always been someone, to come along, and comfort us.     I believe there are angels among us, sent down from somewhere above in our time of despair. In our time of need and darkest hour, a kind word from a stranger, one who lent a helping hand, a call from a friend in the moment of despair.     How it’s kind of funny, at the dark end of the road, where the light grows so dim, a call comes to just say “I understand.” Funny just how that someone appears...
