How big is God’s love?

Jutta Hudson

When William goes to visit his grandma, Omi, they take a train journey together. Omi travels to the station of William’s hometown, where William and his dad meet her. Together, William and Omi board the train that takes them to the city where Omi lives. William usually has a picnic on the train. Sometimes he and Omi play a guessing game called “I spy with my little eyes.” William loves train journeys, and he and Omi always have fun.

Once when Omi met William at the station, he wasn’t his usual happy self. He slept throughout the train journey, cradled in her arms. When they arrived at her house, he wanted to go straight to bed. Omi prayed for him, and the next day William put on a brave face, and together they walked to the nearby park, where he tried the swings and the slide. But it wasn’t as much fun as usual.
