Portrayal Of Real Love
Two
little girls were hiking through the fields one day on a lovely Midwest
afternoon.
They
approached a railroad track, which seemed like a wonderful way to continue
their walk.
As the
girls crossed a trestle, the sound of an oncoming train startled them.
Turning
to escape the bridge, one of the girls wedged her foot between the tie and
the rail and couldn't free it.
The
engineer saw the children up ahead, and began immediately to apply the
brakes.
Later,
he reported the heartbreaking story to the local newspaper of how one of
the girls made it to safety. She then turned back and tried to help her
friend get free, but to no avail.
The
engineer said the trapped girl seemed to be saying something to her
friend, like,
"Go
back! Go on! Save yourself! I can't get loose! Run!"
The
train continued to bear down on them.
The girl
whose foot was not caught ran to the edge of the trestle, then looked
back, then ran once again to free her friend. She tugged with all her
might before giving up and fleeing once again to the safety of the end of
the bridge. She paused for a moment then returned to her friend one final
time as the locomotive reached the bridge.
The
little girl's wrapped their arms around each other, the train struck them
with great force, and the children fell as one into the river below.
What
kind of home did this heroic little girl come from?
She had
a Christ-like quality to withstand any test!
It is a
privilege for us who are in Christ to inspire moral character to others.
[Author

"Greater love hath
no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
(John 15:13)
