The good shepherd

A friend of mine and I were talking about how Jesus is the Good Shepherd in John 10, and she told me that she wanted to know more about how shepherds actually did their work.

"I have this image," she said, "of a shepherd picking up a little lamb when the lamb can't continue walking any more."

I nodded.

"That's how it is with us.  Jesus picks us up in his arms when we can't go on and He carries us."

Yes.  That's how it is.  Sometimes more than others.

We are so blessed -- Teresa
