Destination Derailed by Destiny!

On that fateful evening, when the derailment and deadly collision of trains took place in Odisha, many families, many breadwinners, many mothers, many youth, many children with many hopes, dreams, plans perished abruptly.   Some may have lost their breath instantly and many may have suffered, screamed and wailed for help before departing the earth. The end came all of a sudden, unannounced. The had boarded this train to alight at a place, perhaps their home town or probably their job town. But nearly 300+ people were walloped into eternity without reaching their destination! Very sad, very distressing and very cruel end to so many invaluable lives!

 Lessons we learn (we better learn!)

 # Life is precious, life is good, life is a gift. Let us learn to value it.

 # Life has an expiry date.  Many a time, the date comes unannounced

 # Life gives us lot of chances, but we will not know which one is the last?

Survivors tales..

 This mishap has not only caused mutilation of body parts, but many a children, family members have become destitutes.

 There are some who managed to escape this tragedy with little or minor injury.

 And there are many who are alive, because they could not their tickets confirmed in this train!  Uff…what a sigh of relief and what an eerie feeling it would be for them!

 You and me following this news, reading this article, were actually far from the incident, far from the business of travelling in this train.

 A few pertinent questions that I would like ask us…

 1)     Why we are alive and they are not?

2)     Why we are saved and they are not?

3)     Why we are preserved  and they not?

4)     Are we very special, valuable and much important than all those victims?

 You may share your answers for our learning!

 As for me, it has again caused a deep realization and conviction the following:

a)     I am a survivor, because of the Grace of God

b)     I am a survivor, because God has some unfinished work in me/through me.

c)     I am a survivor only to accomplish God’s will on earth

d)     I am a survivor only to spread the word there is an  eternal life, after our earthly journey

e)     I am a survivor, to tell people that is there is a price, there is a life, there a destiny that should not be missed in  our life!  Life eternal with our Lord!

You and I are still travelling in the train and the train is running safe.  Let us do what best we can before…......we reach our destination!

 

God bless!
