Sharing about sheep


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.

Whilst we aren't at church there are loads of resources online, particularly YouTube. 🎜🎜🎝🎜🎜 These songs are good to remind us of all the amazing things God has done and who He is. King of Kings, Faithful One, Almighty, Saviour, and so many other names. Many people find this the easiest way to express these ideas.  But we don't have to sing to praise! Maybe you are artistic and creative. The Garden of Eden Rainbow in the garden The first picture was made at church in our Sunday school, Sunday Jam, and is a picture of the Garden of Ed...

Choose Your Words Carefully Have you ever been upset by something someone has said to you. Or maybe it was the way it was said that hurt you. Remember that as you speak to others. Choose words that are caring and be careful to not be mean. Because, if kind words are sweet like honey, mean words are like thorns. They dig in and hurt when you say them, and they keep hurting for sometime afterwards too. Kind words So what would be kind things to say?  Complements about something someone has done, made or said. Or grown, baked, drawn, mended . . . the list could go on forever Or that you like something they are wearing. This can be hard and against our natural inclination. I see people wearing something cool but I'm not brave enough to say, which is a shame because I feel good when someone says something to me. 👕    👠    👟    👖    👗 It could be caring words asking how someone is or offering help when it is needed. Concern is care as long as ...
