The resting sheep put me at rest, too. I caught their peacefulness and didn’t want to look away. Was it all the Bach I had listened to, all the nativity scenes that leaned against the walls of my memory? Or was it a natural gift sheep had, to calm humans down like that?
Beautiful - so much to ponder. I get glimpses of deeper meaning than the words on the page. I’ll get there when my soul makes clear what it wants me to know. Patience. Grace.
Aww, I just love this. I'm a sheep lover and this gem of a story made my heart happy. Beautiful story for Christmas too. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for all the beauty this year. Many blessings in the year to come.
(if you can manage it, can you post baby lamb photos if Martha can take some?)
So many words of wisdom in your story. One sentence keeps repeating in my head - “Where sheep may safely graze, all creation breathes more easily.”

Thank you ~
Where is this magical retirement village?
Maybe there will be a time when all of God's creatures may safely graze. I live in hope. Thank you for this post. Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas BBT!!!
I’ve called her BBT for decades.
Thank you for this. Sheep are one of my favorite animals. They are very peaceful.
I feel my anxious soul growing calm as I read.
I'm so glad you posted this. Martha has been sending me pics too. And now I've got to go and see.
