the good shepherd
"My sheep hear My voice,
and I know them, & they follow Me;
and I give eternal life to them,
and they will never perish; and no
one will snatch them out of My hand.
My Father, who has given them to Me,
is greater than all; & no one is able to
snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
I and the Father are one."
John 10:27-30 NASB
Melanie & Jacob enjoyed a season of sheep
while living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
Thanks to a local shepherd who was willing to share his knowledge & experience,
they were blessed to spend time with sheep shearers & sheep dogs,
witness lambing for the first time, and bottle-feed young, spirited lambs.

They're warm & nurturing, and love to answer questions.
Many thanks to Susan Schoenian, Sheep & Goat Specialist, in Clear Spring, Maryland.

For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
