Listen for your Shepherd

Annette Dutenhoffer

Spring is here! The flowers are peeking out of the ground. The birds are singing. And the best thing? The new lambs are being born!

One of my friends used to raise sheep. In the spring, the mommy sheep at my shepherd-friend’s farm had little lambs. Those lambs were so cute with their stubby, rough wool.

When I visited the sheep, they knew I was a stranger. They didn’t want to come see me. Even if I called them they wouldn’t come, because they didn’t recognize my voice. So instead I waited quietly and stayed very still by the fence.
