Grandpa Timti loved going on evening walks with his grandson, Timti Junior. Every weekend, they would walk really far from home, more than 10 kilometers!

Timti Jr. enjoyed these walks a lot because he could ask Grandpa so many questions. And guess what? Each time they went for a walk, Grandpa would tell him a cool story from a special book called the Bible.

Timti Jr. would listen quietly and sometimes, he would tell his friends the story at school the next day. It was like their special secret.

But one August day in 2022, something different happened. They left their house when the sun was shining so bright. But after they had been walking for about 20 minutes, rain suddenly started pouring down from the sky! And guess what? Neither Grandpa nor Timti had an umbrella or a raincoat!

They had to quickly run to a huge oak tree beside the path they were walking on. This tree was super big and super old, with lots of branches and leaves. It was like a big umbrella that kept them dry for a little while.

Timti looked surprised and asked Grandpa why the rain wasn’t touching them under the tree. Grandpa Timti smiled and told him that it’s because of how old and big the leaves on the tree are. He said it’s like the tree was protecting them.

Suddenly, Grandpa started telling Timti a special story about a person named David. David was a friend of God, and he knew that God could protect him no matter what. Grandpa even shared some words from a special book called Psalm 91. It said that if we stay close to God, He will keep us safe like in a secret hiding place.

Grandpa told Timti that he should talk to God every day and ask Him for protection. From that day on, Timti decided that every morning when he wakes up, he will remember to ask God to keep him safe.

And that’s the story of how Timti learned about God’s protection from his grandpa during one rainy walk under a big, old tree.
