Baa! We are sheep folks! Praise God sheep are not left to themselves or they would be in serious strife. In my childhood days we had a sheep as a pet. What a stupid animal. It ate all the flowers, caused havoc and started attacking us. It needed looking after, as in having it's tail docked to prevent fly blown disease, it had to be sheared, fed and watered.
A dog is a much better pet. In fact we had two of these and they were great companions, not so the sheep. We had chicken as well, good for eggs and for eating. But best of all were the dogs.
I remember camping out one night, under the stars, down in the orchard. It became quite cool and my dog Pip lay on my feet and kept me warm.
If we study sheep we can glean insight into our own behaviour. When ever we become puffed up and proud, pull out a sheep and we get a reality check.
The beautiful thing is, that although we are called sheep, out a lord chose to be our shepherd and guardian. Praise God!
