...She's "lost her sheep and doesn't know where to find them; leave them alone and they'll come home......." - you can fill in the rest from your long-gone nursery rhyme days.....my dyed-in-the-wool delight in the fun and puns of life should really kick in today!
Meet the Creator of the Wool of Life - the lovely, little lost lamb that He, the Good Shepherd came for....Our Lord loves strays - and if you have one in your family, know that He, who designed the sheep, has come to seek and to save the lost, bringing them back into the fold. Don't give up - we've a Shepherd Divine who died that we, the sheep of His pasture might live forever more.
Meet the Creator of the Water of Life.....Back in Genesis, He commanded, "Let there be light, let there be water, let there be land - and there was - for the lamb He created. That same Creator has water at the Well - waiting for you and me....Are you thirsty today? Come to His Well - the water of His Word will wash, cleanse and refresh you - body, soul and spirit. Don't give up - we've a Wellmaster who died that we, the thirsty ones of this old world, might drink of His water of life and live forever more.
Little Bo Peep may be dead and gone, tucked away in the memories of our childhood - perhaps revived long enough to raise our kids and grandkids - but she's a fairy tale, a delightful whim of someone's creative imagination. Our Lord is NOT - He is the Creator of our very souls; He will clothe us in the woven robes of His righteousness; He will give us drink at the Well of His Word - and we shall live forever more.
Don't let anyone, including the devil, pull the wool over your eyes! You can believe it, receive it, know that He will be there in all your baaaaa-d days and weary nights - He is the Creator of the wool, the water, and the Word - and He knows how to take care of you!!
