At our most recent meeting of the Church in Arlington, we spoke of being sheep and knowing the Shepherds voice. And how the sheep aren't concerned with anything except the Shepherd. One may wonder off ... but the Shepherd is the one to go out and get the one that wondered off. The Shepherd breaks the legs of the one that keeps wondering off. The Shepherd leads His flock to still waters because the sheep will drown in running water. The Shepherd digs a pool beside the running water so that the sheep will have still water to drink. There are many more things that the Sheperd does.
Then we open a package that we recieved from the Church in Saint Paul. And in it is a letter, a DVD, some Belgian hot chocolate, some pictures with poetry about the Wizard of Awes, some packing paper telling us who we are in Christ, and a Lamb cookie cutter.
So the next night we got together to watch the DVD, drink Belgian hot chocolate and make lamb sugar cookies (Actually Robbin made all of them. But we watched). Here's a picture of some of us in the kitchen. What a wonderful time in the Lord!
Thank you Saint Paul, you are a blessing to us!
Thank you Lord for Saints like these, and sister Churches!

What a blessing! I love those meetings in a box...:)
The shepherds voice. Yes! Sometimes his staff causes pain as he pushes us along. But follow we will. He is our life.
Kimmie, I love you!
Amen to the Lord being our Shepherd and always keeping our eyes on Him !!

I love this post and everything that you said about the Shepherd and the sheep. We house church in the Philadelphia area and I love the idea of what you guys are doing in Arlington. It reminds me of the letters of Paul where he talks about one church in one city sending a love gift to one in another location. Thanks for the photo's they are great and thanks for sharing what the Lord is doing. We are at one with you in following the Shepherd. He is so good. He is our everything.
Thanks for you comment on my post, it was a real encouragement to me.
