Sheep Country 16x20 125.00

The sight of sheep grazing in the distance is not one with which I am accustomed. Therefore, when I do see it, I always stop and gaze. --such a peaceful sight. I always think of Psalm 23 and the metaphor of God's being like a shepherd. Conversely, I am to be like a sheep, a metaphor of total trust, dependence, and simplicity. I struggle with the trusting dependence; however, I qualify for the simple category, stupid at times. Yes, sheep can be quite dumb, that I am more than I like to admit. These sheep are just waiting for the shepherd to make his move. I pray that I will learn to be as dependent on my "heavenly shepherd."  ----just watching, counting on Him to meet my every need.
