The following is beautiful, and I am honored to have received it today from my Uncle Jim in Jacksonville, Florida. I wish to pass it on to all my friends and associates on the OPP. I do not know if he wrote it, or someone else. It does not matter.
At birth, we board the train and meet our parents, believing 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 love of your life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we won'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 seat 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, be thankful for the journey.
Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.

During this train ride, there are those who bring some degree of light into one's life. Those are the chance encounters that make the ride a memorable and pleasant experience .
There are also those who bring darkness and make us dubious regarding the ticket price.
I have encountered both types of passengers here on 1PP. I count you among those who bring the light.
Thank you, and thank you for this post. It's good to see you posting.
A profound and beautiful interlude in this place. I commend you for the courage to post.

Oh, I appreciate it, Slats. And, of course you know, we have a personal connection to the Engineer - He is God. May the good Lord bless each of this Sunday morning.

What a wonderful concept, thanks for posting it. We are proud to be on the same train.
The sermon I heard today would have gone well with the train. Either you catch the train and you move forward (which was the point of the sermon); or in this case you miss the train and stand still; or you retreat into bitterness because of the past.
My personal opinion is, we have a move forward team, that's why we are on the train.
