Jots from Mrs. Jimison
Chapel Highlight
Mrs. Jones reviewed last year's lesson: 'The Big L'--Love the Lord and Love your neighbor (one arm straight up to sky and one out to the side forming a giant capital L)
Trained service dog, Wailea, visited chapel with Mrs. Jones who is on staff. Mrs. Jones has been involved in training and placing service dogs with people with disabilities since 1990.
The students watched as Wailea retrieved keys off floor and retrieved a water bottle off a table. Wailea happily complied with her handler's requests - like we should willingly comply with the instructions the Lord has given us - love others!
Mrs. Jones read the familiar passage Psalm 23. Since none of us are sheep farmers, she explained some things about sheep...and she asked that we imagine her as a shepherd and the dog as a sheep.
Sheep won't lie down on command like a dog will...they rely on the Shepherd to provide an environment where they feel peaceful and cared for. We can TRUST our Shepherd for His loving care.
Even though the sheep go through the valley with shadows and frightening things...the Shepherd stays near...guiding and not abandoning when pain, stress, confusion and loss creep in. We are thankful that God is with us (hands pointing to heaven and then to chest).
What about you? Do you trust this good Shepherd? Is He YOUR Shepherd? Maybe today is the day you admit how much like a sheep you are... seek forgiveness from your Creator and ENJOY new life under the care of THE Good Shepherd.
If you would like to read a book recommended by Mrs. Jones, check out A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23.
