It wasn't until after he had passed that I begin to understand what he
was talking about. 

The “hallelujah train” that he talked about was simply him taking
control of his attitude at the time. He never allowed an incident, 
person or even family member to take away his happiness. 

I begin to understand that he deliberately chose to ride the "hallelujah
train," which made him in charge of his life. 

As I told my wife the story, she leaned back and smiled one of her
gracious smiles. Then she said, "I think I understand what he meant by 
that hallelujah train." 

I can't remember anything that uncle Ned really did or accomplished in
life. I'm sure there were things, but nothing came to my attention as I 
thought of him. The only thing was his attitude of happiness that 
nothing or no one could take away for him. 

Walking into the house the next day, my wife looked at me and said,
"Well, I'm riding the hallelujah train today." 

I didn't have to ask her to explain, I knew exactly where she was going
with this. 

Troubles come and go, but if I allow them to control me in any regard, I
am the loser. Therefore, each day I'm going to ride the hallelujah 
train to the end. 

That evening I thought of one of the wise sayings of King Solomon. “He
that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in 
the Lord, happy is he” (Proverbs 16:20). 

The door into the hallelujah train is simply trusting in the Lord.
