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

The Best Shepherd Ever

Weekends usually hold a lot of expectation for most people.  Time to relax, time to be with family, time to reconnect with friends, time to pursue some grand adventure.  And sometimes the expectation can be rather exhausting.  “What are we going to do this weekend?  I don’t know…what do you want to do?” etc.  Sometimes it’s good just to rest and recharge for the next week, and not have so many plans.  Here’s a great psalm for meditating on contentment and peace.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want

In the midst of your weekend, take a deep breath and just be….just be.  The best Shepherd ever is taking care of us.  Slainte, Lisa

Monday Morning…You Gotta Laugh

Seeing how it’s Monday, and it’s getting close to Christmas, I definitely feel in need of a laugh.  Hope these provide you with a modicum of jocularity.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

This "is" my best Christmas smile.
