My Black sheepFirst came Roshannah (second from the left) lamb she had us all to herself for 15 1/2 months. Then came or Jami she was taken from our arms she died at the age of three. I have been told that my little lamb will one day I will have in my arms again to raise but for now she acts as a junior Sheppard to The Sheppard as the desire to have her again strongly guides my life.Two lambs came together just two minutes apart first the lamb David and then Danielle (4th from the right & David the last one going from left to right they briefly rubbed Shoulders with Jami before her journey home. Steven came to our fold, our little mischievous lamb who kept me busy every moment but gave me ever so much joy.Kristjan was the next lamb he is a majestic lion permanently dressed in a lamb’s costume, difficult at first to accept but now my absolute joy 2nd to last) Meghan (first from left to right) lamb came next she taught me that God does watch after me he no lessons to learn with her just a gift of love. Then a surprise lamb appears our Brittany she was unexpected but such a sweet little lamb. Each lamb has arrived at the age that they should be called sheep but they are my little lambs some have kept their title Black some have taken on another name but they are still the same my Black sheep.

FAITH


Faith to me is like a seed
It must be planted to grow
I planted my seed deep in my heart
I nourished, tended and kept it safe,
It sprouted and grew
It became a tree before I knew.
Not unlike a tree, which bares fruit. Yet the fruit I take
Nourishment from feeds my spirit not by body.
I took a seed so small that who would have believed
A small little seed could infinitely feed the nation
By faith Jesus fed the five thousand
A mustard seed is small yet it is a plant gigantic
Faith to plant the seed in the ground; is unseen yet surely it will
Grow, if the ground has good soil and is nourished and cared for.
God gives to us life; it is a seed we each must develop and tend and
Plant in good soil. It is us who must have the faith to let Him be the
Gardner for only he knows the product derived from your special seed.
Faith is placing your plant in his hands; you are the tender plant but he
Is the Gardner.
