Yaknow, the thing I really like about this story arc is that it didn’t end with the black sheep being the best wool producer… just loving life. It’s not what we win at that makes us loveable.

Moral to the story: Just because you're different and feel like you're useless. Doesn't mean you actually are, if you go missing there will be someone that will cross hill or dale to find and bring you home. You're important to them.

That someday can be "today". Cry out to your Father in Heaven in his Son Jesus's name. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But God in his great mercy, sent his beloved Perfect son to pay the price of our sins. Jesus died on the cross for our sins -past, present and future, and on the third day, God rose him from the death. Death could not hold him. He is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. He intercedes for us. Believe in the truth. May the Lord open your eyes to see the truth, be forgiven and set you free from the bondage of sin.. May the Lord grant you true freedom in Christ the Lord. In Jesus's mighty name, Amen.

When I was home due to the C*vid lockdown I heard myself wishing, "someday I wish I could have sheep," and then I thought of all those who lost their lives, and asked myself, "if not now, when?" And because I have an 80 year old father who could indulge me, and a supportive hubby, I realized my dream. Being a shepherd makes you understand the analogies used in the bible. Only when you've spent time with those amazing creatures do you realize the level of trust and the interaction between the sheep and the shepherd. This short animation does a great job of really embodying the true shepherd. calling the sheep in, tending them, leading them, etc. The good shepherd knows when one of his sheep is lost, and will go out to find it.

Something that had never occurred to me was that the shepherd's life, too, was in danger for the wild is a place dangerous to all - even it's native inhabitants. So we see Jesus Christ being made in fashion as a man, beset by all the dangers that beset us too. He is born as a helpless babe, grown as a young human boy, and continues to overcome sin in His adult years. He overcame the wild, young sheep, and now He hangs from the precipice, His nail-scarred hand reaching out, and he is saying, "Will you come with me, my single lost sheep?" Blessed be GOD in the highest for He has come this distance for a lost sheep like me. Blessed me my Maker and my King, Whose face I am unworthy to behold, Whose gaze I am unfit to enjoy. Glory!

so touching, hope this will come true in the world we are now.

LOVE CONQUERS ALL ❤❤❤
