282 - Day 281 - Await My Return

Watch for Christ’s Return!

Every time I saw this young man standing by the railroad tracks I was amazed. Day after day, in the heat of summer and in the bitter cold of winter, he just stood there waiting and looking into the distance for every approaching train. After my third year of watching him, I asked someone what motivated this young man to be so faithful.

I was told that during World War II his older brother had been drafted and had left on a train from that train station. He had told his younger brother that one day he would come back. Therefore, each day this young man would come and wait in anticipation of his brother’s return.
