In shepherd’s care

By Patty Perkins

Psalm 100:3 “Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.” (NIV)*

Sheep looking (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

sheep, bound to roam

except—those gathered there

by the crook of grace

and his mercy face

bundled, in shepherd’s care

in his pasture—home.

Oh I LOVE this (do I say that every time?)–I love any and every reminder that He is the Shepherd, and I one of His beloved sheep. God bless you BIG, Sister Sheep–love, sis Caddo

  You can say it as often as you like! The shepherd/sheep analogy speaks to me as well…such peace. Sigh.
