trains...

In my life trains have been special. I grew up near a set of tracks are

would hear the trains each day as they passed through our small town.

I was often walking on the train tracks. It was there that I had my first

experiences with Holy Spirit.  Even our dogs have had a strong reaction

to seeing/hearing the trains as they would pass by us on walks.

 

I recently saw another train. It was not moving, but stopped on the racks.

As we turned onto another road I could see a rail-truck.  It was parked near

the train in close approximation to the locomotive.

 

At first glance we too often just see the stopped train. It captures our

attention.  It may be because of the shear size or the fact we often

associate them with speed, movement and power. It is not until we turn aside

and continue to look that we may see the other vehicle.

 

We may be a type of this other vehicles. It was created unique, being able

to travel not only on the track, but also on the roads. We too have a

purpose and are sent to help others.
