SHEEP Sheep are often reference in the bible and are used to describe our relationship with God. He is seen as a shepherd who looks after us and cares about us and our needs. There are loads of crafts for making sheep, these are just a few. We play a game at Jam Packed called 'naughty sheepdog'. It is great fun, though we do end up with some sore knees by the end! It involves most of the children crawling around as sheep, one farmer and one sheepdog. The sheep dog tags the sheep and they roll onto their backs. The farmer has to tag them again to rescue the sheep. It is a game with no winners but a lot of giggles. It is good to know that the farmer, or shepherd, is there to rescue us when things go wrong. He loves us and knows our names. He wants the best for us, which is to get to know God and be part of His family. He forgives us when we stray and brings us back to the fold with rejoicing. May the good shepherd bless you with good things today.
