But perhaps those days are not so far away as we think... on this small family farm in Oregon, the shepherd boy lives on, even today. Just like days of old, the sheep know his voice, know his safety and comfort, and run to be under his shepherding.
Here is Hunter... leading our sheep back home from almost a year of off-site grazing. It took a few minutes, but they remember him... and the feed bucket he carried. They ran to meet and follow him, to wherever he would lead them. It was awe inspiring to watch these animals follow their shepherd so willingly, so enthusiastically.
If we, as humans, could only follow our shepherd as well, with excitement and total trust.
