Happy Thanksgiving Dear Readers!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for being on MY TRAIN and sharing my writing journey with me. Each of you means so much to me!
I hope you have a blessed and safe holiday filled with lots of laughs and good food. I also hope that as you celebrate this Thanksgiving Holiday with your loved ones and maybe your “less-than-loved-ones” may you remember this little story and may it minister to you!
The Train (Author Unknown)
“At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on 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 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 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, thank God for the journey.
Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.”
