March 22, 2012 This is a little long but so good and is a poem called "The Echo" by C.C. Miller: Twas a sheep not a lamb

That strayed in the parable Jesus told,

A grown-up sheep that strayed away

From the ninety and nine in the fold.

And why for the sheep should we seek

And earnestly hope and pray?

Because there is danger when sheep so wrong:

They lead lambs astray.

Lambs will follow the sheep, you now,

Wherever they sheep may stray.

When sheep go wrong,

It won't take long till the lambs are as wrong as they.

And so with the Sheep we earnestly plead

For the sake of the lambs today,

For when the sheep are lost

What terrible cost

The lambs will have to pay."

So much meaning to this poem and especially made me think about what kind of "ECHO" I want to always be bouncing off the cliffs to those precious baby lambs around me!

I love you! Kimee:-)
