Finally...a complete day of peace...yippeee!! A much needed day.
I've had wandering sheep on my mind for the last few days. Today a friend told me that people just need to know someone cares about them. How true that is...because I too at times need to know that someone cares about me. What is so interesting is that I am usually the one who is giving, and encouraging, and caring about others. I am usually not the one who receives much...and I don't expect it either...so to be given anything is usually a surprise and a blessing...even if it's a kind word...such as thank you or love you...or an invitation by a friend to dinner...it's a blessing that I cherish for sure...
ok...I wandered off topic here...back to the topic of lost sheep now
So..as I was mentioning I've really had a burden for the wandering sheep here at the Oasis and at my home church. I feel the need to reach out to these souls...and I am...what is so awesome is that I've been talking to God about this as well...and He in turn is showing me new directions He wants me to take in my calling...it's so rewarding to watch as the sheep that have strayed are returning to the fold...and to know that they are back in God's house instead of off in the world...oh how glorious that is for my Father. Makes me smile
