Train Tickets

Mathew 10:29
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father's will.
30. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31. Fear ye not therefore , ye are of more value than many sparrows.

The miracle of train tickets getting confirmed in the pearl city express has always happened for me with a thrill. I have found that God always cares for me in all little things. Whenever I am sick, I somehow have the confirmed tickets. When my tickets are not confirmed till the last, still God helps me to sleep someway or the other. Glory be to God

On one situation, my dad, my mom and myself were traveling to Hyderabad. We had only two Rac tickets in hand when the chart was prepared. One more was still in waiting status. We boarded the train believing that God will work wonders. I was filled with fear whether TTR will be asking us to get down. But my Father was more confident of getting one more berth. Glory be to God that we had got two berths wherein I and my mother shared a berth happily praising God for what He has done.

On another situation I had got Rac wherein I was sharing a seat with another elder man. Normally people adjust within the compartment that only two ladies or two gents together share the lower berth. But here was this man not wanting to go anywhere else but wanting to sit for the whole night. Although vexed at this situation, still God helped me by placing a friend in the same train who was ready to share a berth with me. Glory to God.

The best of all situations was during my sister's marriage. My dad booked Ac tickets for my sister and my brother in law. For the rest of the family , that is for all my relatives nearly fifteen in number he booked in normal sleeper coach. All the tickets were in waiting list when booked two months before. My dad thought of hiring a bus or booking in tatkal if it doesn't get confirmed. My mom kept on praying that the tickets should get confirmed. My sister's marriage was over. And we were getting to ready to attend the reception in Chennai. On the day when tatkal tickets have to be booked, few tickets moved to Rac. My parents didn't book in tatkal believing that all will get confirmed. On the day of boarding the train all the relatives were giving suggestions that tatkal should have been tried. My mother was still praying in firm belief. At the time of boarding the train , Glory be to God that all tickets were confirmed with only two Rac's. Those were also confirmed with everyone sleeping comfortably, thanking God. God is marvelous. Is'nt it?
