Spring is here! I do love watching the lambs playing in the fields. They are so of joy in life! The other day I watched as they appeared to play a sheeply game of I'm the King of the Castle. Each was vying to take and keep its place on the top of a small mound. I wonder what their mums thought of these antics. I also noticed had the ewes kept a close on their young as they started calling to them when I got too close to the gate. Being a mum or a parent is to want to keep your children safe. And, this reflection reminded me of how Jesus wants to keep us safe in our faith by calling to us to follow him. He is our Good Shepherd who is with us in the green pastures, beside the still waters or in the dark vales of our lives. Wherever we are, he is. We can turn to him... listen to him... obey him. Most of all, we can abide in his love. Just as the lambs were never far from their mum's love, we are only one call away from Jesus'
May you feel our Lord's love for you and hear his volce calling you by name.
Every blessing,
Revd Katrina
