Healthy and content sheep do skip, jump, and do “silly” things. They also rest longer, or they sometimes butt their heads together. They might stand in a group or go out and “dance.” This place of satisfaction is easier to see in young lambs being well-fed by their moms. They will have lamb races and love to climb the highest mound. The Waimea flock lacks these mounds. However, there are pits in the ground dug out by cattle in previous years. Young lambs speed around like race cars, hopping in and out of those pits.
My personal excitement and joy come from relaxing into what God’s grace actually looks like. I crave the feeling of belonging in a group or chatting together with another person.
