The Good Ol' 1, 2, Scooby Doo

Hello everyone! because of a very crazy transfer situation I will probably not be having as much time on Pdays to write. I am doing well. 

Here's something that I learned this week that I loved:

Every once and a while, an ewe (mom sheep) will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this, however, once an ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind.  If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother will even kick the poor animal away. These poor little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with their necks. Their spirit is broken. These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. 

So, do you know what the shepherd does? 

He takes that rejected little one into his home, hand-feeds it and keep it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to his chest so the bummer can hear the shepherd’s heartbeat. 

Once the lamb is strong enough, the shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock, and it will do just fine. But that sheep never forgets how the shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. 

When the shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first? That is right, the bummer sheep. It knows the Shepard’s voice because it has experienced His love, one on one.

So, at times, many of us feel much like bummer lambs, rejected, forgotten and broken. But our Savior, Jesus Christ, is the Good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart. We may be broken but we are deeply loved by the Shepherd.

I haven't been rejected by my mom or family! But I have felt Christ love, I know he is there to help us when we feel spiritually broken. 

I love you all!
