the Role of a Shepherd(ess)

Since the beginning of time, sheep have been among the only animals assigned a human counterpart. The role of a shepherd(ess) is one that will never be obsolete.

When I undertook the ownership of this flock, I did so with the understanding that I was assuming a role as well as an animal. I had spent 6 months managing their grazing program and realized this intensive movement, this shepherding, was essential to their well-being.
.
.
Ultimately, however, what I know from the Bible shapes my understanding of a shepherd’s role. As I work with these animals I get a look at the unconditional love of of Christ. I see a worthiness in this undertaking because of what I know of my Shepherd. I understand that these animals will require more patience and grace than they are worthy of… and I’m ok with that.
.
.
I will grow in experience, I will perfect my techniques, I will upgrade my equipment… but at the end of the day sheep need a shepherd(ess), and that is the job I have undertaken.

Jesus said: “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” John 10:10-11
