The Reading story this week is about sheep shearing, wool carding, wool dyeing, and finally weaving. We watched a video today about sheep shearing. We learned that the wool needs to come off of the sheep in one piece and a crew of shearers will travel together from farm to farm until the sheep are all cared for. It can take 3 minutes to shear one sheep. The record time for shearing a sheep is 45 seconds.
We also have been talking about the way Jesus refers to us as sheep. Sometimes that seems rather nice to be considered as a sheep until we learn more about them. Learning more about sheep makes us think that sheep are difficult animals to guide and care for. Our sin does make us a lot like sheep. We have learned a bible verse which helps us know that the Lord calms our troubled heart even when we act like anxious sheep. "My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me." The Lord truly is a Good Shepherd to all of us!
