What i mean by that is, it could be God Himself, One of His Angels, Jesus Himself or simply one of their Sheep. The goats who are true goats, enjoy being goats and want to stay goats will reveal themselves.

Awesome! Yes, exactly what i am talking about. We simply never know when or who we may be helping or attempting to help. Cool Story! THX!

You are so right. I want to share one of Neil’s stories. He & Michelle were having dinner at IHOP one night. Noticing a homeless man outside, Neil offered to buy his dinner. They shared an enjoyable dinner and conversation. After thanking Neil & Michelle profusely, the man walked out of the restaurant a few seconds ahead of them. When they stepped out, they looked to see which way the man had gone, but he had vanished. True story.

Cool! You are exactly right Gwen and it is awesome because i know this means God is wanting you to know this. We are ALL in this same boat and we must ALL be Sheep on a daily basis as you say, in fact He requires it. One of your “moments” was the other day when you took the time to stop and talk to the man on the bench out front of the store you were shopping at. For all you know that could have been God Himself or Jesus. Maybe, no one else had spoke to him or maybe ten people had. The point is you did and that is what God wants is for us to take that time, make that effort. Be the “servant”. As you read the Bible more you may even see that you don’t feel your physical or emotional pains as much, so i encourage you to do it all you can ! :-))! I love that you read Matthew, i love what you are seeing, but most importantly…..so does God. Try reading the Old testament right from the beginning, read it slow and take it in…. i believe you will be amazed at all God’s instruction….and we thought our parents were bad! :-))! Pat and i hope you have a very awesome day!

I have read the Book of Matthew again, esp. 25:40 .

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Sure, I’ve had my more noble “sheep” moments. I think most people have. But as a way of life, I surely fall into the self-absorbed “goat” category. I believe the Lord has called us to be sheep on an ongoing, daily basis. Not just when we “feel like it”, or “get around to it”.

Oh, you know … Sitting around watching the news, being all smug because I haven’t broken any “laws” (today). Then I read your blog & realized that I have probably broken more “commandments” than I can count. I asked myself, “Oh, yeah?? If I’m so great, why haven’t I reached out to anyone lately? Made a conscious decision to help someone else & acted on it? Thought about anyone except myself?” … That kind of thing.

Thank You again Miss Gwendolyn! :-))! When you ask, “how can i help”? Are you meaning help us or in general? If you mean us, i would venture to say you are already helping more than enough, it it is greatly appreciated. In addition Miss Gwen, God uses many people for many different reasons. While the things people do for others may seem small to them/you, such as the things you do for others and us, trust me, they are huge to God and Jesus. :-))!
