The way I see it...

Meet Charlie (Charlie Brown). This is one of the sheep that my parent in laws had.

I have always loved this picture. What a sweet face and watching him and Lucy (yep Lucy) walk in circles around my father in law, rubbing up against him as he was feeding them was quite a picture. So gentle and so happy to be around their owner.

Lucy...

Why does God use sheep and goats to describe us?

Matt 25:31-33

31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.…

But when I think about not only Charlie Brown and Lucy but also...

Froto, Bella, Kochia....their goats. How cute ..huh.

Granted, this was from a few years ago and now their farm is loaded with these things.

As cute as both of these are there is tons of differences. As the sheep play ring around the Rosie during feeding the goats decide to butt my father in law into the trough. Then there is the story my husband tells of trying to help his dad separate them as they bound off the wall and over their head like the were in the movie THE MATRIX.

Needless to say, they are unruly and difficult to control. Hummmm...makes me think..is this why God separates people by goats and sheep.

I wonder...am I acting more like a His sheep or ....................... a goat.
