I Said A Birthday Prayer for You Mom

I said a Birthday Day prayer for you Mom to thank the Lord above for blessing me with a lifetime of your tenderhearted love. I thanked God for the caring you've shown me through the years, for the closeness we've enjoyed in time of laughter and of tears. And so, I thank you from the heart for all you've done for me and I bless the Lord for giving me the best mother there could be! Your second birthday you've been gone seems to us like a bad dream But knowing you are in heaven, also brings us peace. We love and miss you Mom, your journey now has ended. We'll all be together again, and tears of happiness will begin. ~Author Unknown~

Some Call It Heaven lyrics by Squire Parsons
Some Call It Home
(Verse 1)
Somewhere beyond the grave, there is a land
Where Jesus went to prepare by His own hand.
And for the saved by grace, there is a resting place,
And in a few more days it will be mine.
(Chorus).....
Mom calls it heaven, and I'll call it home
Some call it dreamin' well, why don't you let me dream on,
We'll call it paradise, somewhere beyond the skies,
We call it heaven, but Mom calls it home.
(Verse 2)
Someone said you can't go back home again,
Things will not ever be as good as they've been.
Oh, but I've got good news for you,
When heaven comes into view
Just one glimse and you're gonna know,
The best is yet to come.
(Chorus).......
(Coda)........ We'll call it paradise, somewhere beyond the skies,
Some call it heaven, but Mom calls it home.

THE SHEARED SHEEP by Tina Borcher

I’m a ‘city girl’ who recently moved to Wyoming. Down our road there are many pastures with grazing sheep. I noticed in early spring that the sheep had been sheared and were huddled in masses together in the early February snow and cold. They looked so pitiful standing close to each other next to the shelters, crying out loudly and standing with their backs to the wind! I asked my husband about why the sheep were sheared so early in the season when it’s clear they are suffering. He explained, “In early days before fences, when this area was an open range, the sheep wandered far from feed and shelter. When they lambed it made it hard to keep track of them and keep them safe. So the sheep ranchers sheared the sheep early to help keep the ewes close and to better protect them when they lamb.” I thought that was a very smart way to keep sheep close in! The next day was more cold and wet and when I drove by the sheep I thought again about the shearing was actually helping them in the long run. I pulled over and looked at them. I thought about my own life, how I had felt ‘sheared’ with the losses I had experienced. I bowed my head and prayed, “Oh, God, is it that you want to keep me close just like these sheared sheep?’ Since then, many other losses have come in my path. When I feel raw and sheared that picture of those sheep come to mind. I ask God to keep me mindful that the shearing is for the long term good and I during those times I’ve tried to stay as close as possible to the Shepard.
