Luke 15:11-32 And he said, A certain man had two sons:… A friend got into a railway carriage in Liverpool to go far north in Scotland, and there sat beside him a pale, weak, worn young mother, and she had upon the bend of her arm a strong but restless babe. Surely, he thought, this mother is not able to carry this child all these hundreds of miles. After a little he put the question to her, "Are you going far?" "I am." "Are you going to carry that child all the way?" "Yes, I am." "Will you not get tired? You look tired now." "I am not well, and I am tired, and I do feel that it is a long way to go; but oh!" — and the tears stole down her cheek — "I do not mind, for my father will meet me there." Ah! beloved, thou mayest have many a load to carry, many a sin to weep over, many a long and weary day in life's journey, and but little strength, little to solace or comfort; but never mind, you are going home, to die no more, and your Father will meet you at the journey's end.
