Jesus is the Good Shepherd who knows his sheep by name.
The sheep knows the shepherd’s voice. It makes their trembling hearts rejoice. They follow him every day and know he won’t lead them astray. No matter how the time will pass they know he’ll lead them to fresh grass. When everything in dryness seems he always finds the coolest streams. When danger lurks on every side they know in safety they will abide. A stranger’s voice is not the same. He doesn’t even know their name. When dangers come with all the strife he runs away to save his life. When in hunger they start to cry he doesn’t care if they live or die. If they get lost or stray away he’s just there to collect his pay. The stranger always fails the test but the Good Shepherd gives his best.

How thankful that Jesus knows each one of us by name and continue to watch over us, He'll make sure we aren't lost sheep. Thank you for sharing Larry.

All are lambs, some with good ears can listen to the Shepher's call, others, not good at hearing but with good eyes can follow their Shephers, then again, we have the mutes ones that only can't cry for help or pray but the Shepher hear them in His heart, and finally, there are those blind lambs that need to be surrounded with love by the rest so they can't get lost and not be part of the flock.
Inspiring poem you gave us today.

I sat outside a store and became aware of the flower pots in front the store and I thought how it must feel about the attention given to the flowers.
