The Rabbit Room

Thank you, Suzanne.
I needed this, providentially paired by our Shepherd with a thought from yesterday that got me meditating.

The Good Shepherd. Love this.

Thanks for this. Lots to think about. All this would have been commonly known to most people when David wrote about the Lord being his Shepherd and Jesus talked about being the Good Shepherd, but most of us now are so far removed from actual care of sheep that we don’t really grasp the full implications.

Thank you, Suzanne, for giving us so many details–interesting in and of themselves–to cause us to praise The Shepherd for his great design, his good purposes, and his relentless faithfulness to care for us and give us constant reminders of his truth all around us. Thanks again!

I really loved reading this today. I am recovering from surgery and starting to struggle with resting instead of doing. In my mind, and I think in our culture, I equate being busy and active with doing good. This was a timely reminder that God is my shepherd and cares for me, even if I can’t see how his care is helpful at the moment. Perhaps this season of rest is for me to ruminate over all that he has been teaching/feeding me lately so I can grow stronger for the next season. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful firsthand account as a shepherd!

This was so engrossing, Suzanne! A simple and powerful lesson.

I love this eye opening perspective!

Just loved this. So timely for me right now. Thank you.

I loved reading this, Suzanne! Especially this line (what a thought!): “My care must have seemed like a mysterious hardship to them—“What does it take to satisfy this shepherd?”
