Zebras have plenty of blessings to count in the Christmas season! They have tight-knit families, A large herd to belong to, & a clearly defined male & female leader to follow! Counting their blessings helps them to smile & even have an old-fashioned "Belly Laugh"!

| "A Cheerful Heart doeth good like a medicine".Don't Worry, Be Happy! |
Zebra's stripes are another sign of God's goodness to them. Each Zebra has its own unique pattern of stripes. It's like having ewe-r own set of fingerprints! Imagine trying to locate a foal in a mall, with all those other stripes to choose from! Ewe-r eyes could go buggy! Mares & foals spend time shortly after the birth bonding, which enables them to recognize their foal in a crowd.
 |
| All those stripes are making me Dizzy! That foal is getting "Grounded"! |
The Christmas season is also an opportunity for different smaller groups or harems, to gather together to sing! Zebras normally snort, bark, & bray at one another. However, Christmas carols have a way of bringing all the unique groups together to harmonize!They set aside their differences, & focus on singing the "Good News"!

Zebras, like other animals in the wild, have some natural enemies.
Lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, & wild dogs are a few of the predators on the lookout for a meat sale on "Stripes"! It's nice to know that Christmas is a time where enemies can lay down their differences, & celebrate the Prince of Peace!
 |
| It's OK, I forgive Ewe for trying to eat me! Let's call for a truce! |
 |
| Christmas is a time to stop fighting! Can't we just work this out? |
Thousands of Zebras migrate some 300 miles in search of water. They travel great distances in search of refreshment! Christmas is also a season to seek refreshment from life's hardships! It's a wonderful time to reflect on the true meaning of the season! A time to enjoy friends, family, & the significance of Christ coming to the earth! Even humans need time to slow down & "smell the roses"!
 |
| It's been a long journey, but definitely worth it! This is so "Refreshing"! |
 |
| I Love Vacations! Nothing like a little "Down Time"! |
Sheep also enjoy gathering together for the holidays. Eating with the flock, & sitting at the feet of their Shepherd, brings tremendous contentment in an ordinarily "crazy" world!
 |
| The Shepherd is my "Prince of Peace"! |
 |
| Ewe Have nothing to fear as long as I am here! Let's sing some carols! |
As Ewe celebrate this glorious season with friends & family, reflect on the many blessings in Ewe-r life & take some to be refreshed in His Love!
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden. and I will give you rest." Mt. 11:28
