Runaway Sheep!

Sheep are sometimes dissatisfied with the boundaries set for them by the Shepherd. They decide to explore "life" outside the sheepfold.


Follow me! Let's split this scene while we have the chance!

My bags are packed & I'm Ready to GO!

This apparent "new found" freedom can present a whole new set of challenges for the runaway.  Food & friends may suddenly be in short supply!

"Lonely. I'm Mr. Lonely!...Letter, Never a Letter!"

 
This looks really BAA..D!
Sheep are CAPABLE of doing a great deal of harm to themselves
outside the Shepherd's care! They are subject to bugs, thorns, & thistles, all of which attach to their wool.



I was a Wild  "EWE-TH" &  ran away at age 6! "I'm Baaa...d,I'm Baaa...d, I'm Baaa...d!"

Sheep also come to realize that outside of the Shepherd's protection, the world can be a dangerous place! Predators, rock slides, & avalanches are only a few of the difficulties they may encounter!



If  EWE are going to run away, Ewe need Protection!
 

Is there anybody out there? I could EWE-USE some HELP!
 
The Good News is that they have a Shepherd who is aware that they are missing! He seeks to return the runaway to the fold, even if He has to carry him home. 

I'm so happy I found EWE! Let me take care of Ewe!
As Ewe face whatever the day may hold, Enjoy the path the Shepherd has put before EWE.
  
Happy Trails!  


"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and Lean not on your own understanding;In all your ways acknowledge Him,and He will direct your path."

    A lonely and perilous detour from the flock--why does it look so attractive? I think it is attractive only at a distance; up close "ewe" see the scary details ewe overlooked. "The devil is in the details," as they say. Best to stick close to the shepherd's side, safe and secure, provided for and loved.

    Is it OK to use some of your pictures for my sermon: Living Rocks and Stumbling Blocks? Matthew 18:10 - 14
