Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them;
Leave them alone,
And they'll come home,
wagging their tails behind them.
Oh...if only it was that easy. My sheep would not find their way home. This is a catchy English language Nursery Rhyme circa 1805 that I can hear in my head with that sweet melody that leads into song.
Sheep are known to be creatures that CAN'T find their way home. If they get lost and get on the other side of a fence, they won't know how to get back around to the other side where they just came from.
They truly are in need of a good sheperd that works with them helping them get back home. We are like sheep in need of the GOOD SHEPERD. That would be Christ. He is referred to as the Good Sheperd and we are referred to as ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY (Isaiah 53:6).
1 Peter 2:25 tells us FOR YE WERE AS SHEEP GOING ASTRAY; but are now returned unto the Sheperd and Bishop of your souls.
We are in need of the good sheperd. Every one of us.
Baa baa black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full...

Having a flock of sheep myself I can tell you for sure, they NEED a shepherd, and as a sheep of God's pasture, I need Him!

Morning Dd,
Glad that we have know the voice of the good shepard and he will lead us home!
My favorite sheep (and I don't know their proper name) are those like we saw at the Tulsa State Fair, the ones with the brown legs and black faces and a cream colored body. I remembering watching as they sheared them and touched them up for competition.
Makes me long for the country and room for sheep. Then we could teach our dogs to heard them! Wouldn't that be fun?
Love you,
