Train Journey of a lifetime
Way back in 2007 I wrote this, why I don't know, I think maybe I was asked a question about our destiny.
I thought it would be a good subject to discuss.
The Train Journey Of a Lifetime
When we are born, it’s the start of a journey, the journey of life down here on the earth plain.
Let’s consider this as a journey, we buy a ticket, ticket to where you may ask, well it’s the ticket to the future, we hope a very long journey through life.
Then again it could be a day trip or a week or two so we must enjoy the time we have here.
We seem to come here with a blank mind so we have to fill it with knowledge.
Our first stop on the journey is spent being taught the rudiments by our parents. At this stop we are taught to walk, talk properly, to count and read, to use manners properly, to have respect and we are taught to love, and to pray to God.
We take up to a six years of infant and junior schooling, these years we are taught how to get through life with a the knowledge of more writing and more talking. Taking in many subjects, and each one giving us the idea how and what we like to do for our future, and if it’s a good school, to pray more to God.
At the second stop in our journey the train stops at the choice of school that we have chosen. That stop could be a comprehensive school journey, or a grammar school or maybe a public school. But it doesn’t matter which journey we are all going to take, we are all going to end up at the same terminus. You spend five to eight years learning more about the knowledge of life in general preparing us for the next important stop.
At the third stop we have to make up our minds which station we are going to stop at next.. Perhaps we choose to take the train to university or maybe into a manual employment, or a sales or office employment, or maybe choosing the church. Which ever we choose it is imperative we enjoy our chosen employment that we will be undertaking for the next fifty years.
Now if we have been very lucky we will now come to our fourth stop in our very long journey the journey of retirement, enjoyment and fulfilment, sadly for some it could be a journey of ill-health, because our bodies have suffered wear and tear through stage three of our lives. But we carry on enjoying the time doing the things that please us most, till the journey of life is nearly over and we will reach the terminus. This is where the ticket runs out, we have had a long journey hopefully a very stable and enjoyable one.
We hand over our well used ticket at the gate, those Pearly Gates that you have discussed through your long journey through life. We are let in to the unknown, the unknown start of another journey, we are here, here where you have hoped you would be. Now what ????????

Tell me how your journey is going.
