An eventful journey
Yesterday I had to travel with my family to my religious place and I had booked a train for our travel. We normally do a road travel to this place but right now there is some road work going on and everyone who visits there by road complaints. It's a 4 hours journey but with the road work it's taking nothing less then 7 to 8 hours. Keeping that in mind I booked the train ticket. The train was at 10 a.m. in the morning, the station is half an hour away from my home, keeping some buffer time we left at 9 a.m. But then we were just 10 minutes away from the station and suddenly some traffic jam happened, which did not allow us to move. Yet I thought we would reach safely on time, after a while it became a panic situation because the traffic was just not moving.
We reached the station finally but by then it was already 10 and I was sure I missed the train, but then we thought we will still take a chance. We asked someone around and the person told us that the train is still there and it's late by 5 minutes, after that it was a marathon. Thank god there were no big bags, we just had 2 small bagpacks so we could run. Me and Son ran up fast, hubby cannot run, he did try his best to be as fast as he could, but yet he was very slow. We were at the train but then our coach was right in the end, we kept running close to the train so that if it starts we could get in to any coach. After that the train was delayed for 5 more minutes and that gave us some breathing space.
Me and Son got into our coach finally and we could see hubby walking up to reach, finally he reached the coach and I cannot even believe in this miracle that as soon as he stepped in the train started. It was like just waiting for all of us to board. All through the traffic jam I kept praying to make us reach our final destination and I felt like my prayers were answered.
I will never forget this journey, we have never had such an experience before. I just thanked God for listening to my prayers and making this journey happen for us. After all we were going to visit his holy Temple, how could he disappoint us.
