A beautiful story. This series was my favorite to read when young. I just finished re-reading the first book, to see if it lived up to my memories. It does.

"I haven't read Boxcar Children since I was around twelve, and I haven't read the first one since I was just a bit older than Benny.
I just wanted to taste it again... As an adult. See what I loved as a child. Maybe walk down memory lane..." — Jul 29, 2025 09:06AM

“How do you know that it was God's will? Perhaps it was just a thwarting of His purpose by the power of evil.”

“I hope you will be treated unfairly- So that you will come to know the value of justice.
I hope you will be betrayed- So that you will know the importance of loyalty.
I hope you will be lonely- So that you will know the value of a true friend.
When you lose, I hope your opponent will gloat- So you will understand the importance of sportsmanship.
I hope you will be ignored- So you will learn the importance of listening.
I hope you will have just enough pain that you will understand the importance of compassion.
Whether you wish for these things or not, they are all going to happen to you. But whether you benefit from them, or not, will depend upon you.”

“It will not do, as you live the rest of your life, to assume that someone else will bear the major burdens. That someone else will demonstrate the key convictions. That someone else will run for office. That someone else will take care of the poor. That someone else will visit the sick, protect civil rights, enforce the law, preserve culture, maintain civilization, and defend freedom.
You must never forget that what you do not value, will not be valued. That what you do not remember, will not be remembered. That what you do not change, will not be changed. That what you do not do, will never be done.
You can, if you care enough to act, craft a society’s leaders, business and political. It is not really a question of what to do, but simply the will to do it.”
