Feeling Sheepish

It's almost time for animal sitting for the church's live nativity. Sheep provided a real object lesson about how God thinks about people the last time we had to watch the animals.

In case you didn't know, sheep are incredibly dumb.

Two years ago, DH and I had to untangle them (let's not get into why in the world someone thought staking and leashing the poor things was a good idea - that's another issue) -- they had gotten wrapped around each other and the stakes so well that they couldn't move. Took us an hour to get them undone, because they didn't want to let us help them.

Fifteen minutes later, we did our rounds to check on all the animals, and sure enough... sheep were tangled.

Just think... we're His flock. Humbling, ain't it?
