If I Was a Sheep

100_1582

If I was a sheep, I would eat the grass right in front of me, and then two steps ahead, and then two steps ahead of that.

If I was a sheep, I would walk around in green fields and find contentment with my sheep family.

If I was a sheep, I would lie down at the end of the day, or in the middle of a hot day, and sleep soundly.

If I was a sheep, I would come when my shepherd called me, because I know that he has the good food.

If I was a sheep, I would follow the other sheep and the shepherd into a new and better field without questioning.

I am a sheep, and Jesus is my shepherd.  I just need to learn to listen and trust him better.  Blessings, Lisa

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-just as the Father knows me and I know the Father-and I lay down my life for the sheep.”  (John 10:14-15)

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” – Psalm 23:1

Killarney

By Killarney’s Lakes and Fells

Edmund O’Rourke

By Killarney’s lakes and fells,
Emerald Isles and winding bays,
Mountain paths and woodland dells,
Mem’ry ever fondly strays;
Bounteous nature loves all lands;
Beauty wanders everywhere,
Footprints leaves on many strands,
But her home is surely there!
Angels fold their wings and rest
In that Eden of the west,
Beauty’s home, Killarney,
Ever fair Killarney.

Happy Wanderer

DSCN0451

Me: Walking dog on dewy early morning, waiting for him to do what he needs to do so that I can go back and work on my “to do” list.

Fritz:  Happy to be outside, sniffing the clover, sniffing the grass, sniffing just about everything really, no “to do” list in his mind, just happy.

Hmmm…which one of us had the right idea?  Fritz, living the moment….you go, buddy!  🙂  Carpe diem.  Slainte, Lisa
