Shepherds

At our after Christmas party, the Crosswalk class members participated in a survey to determine which character from the nativity scene we are most like. Most of us identified with the shepherds in the story. The survey instrument said of us, "Congratulations! You're about as loyal as a person can get. You love animals and being out in nature where life is nice and simple. Taking care of your family and your small group of close friends is very important to you. In the future, you'll be the person everyone goes to when they're feeling a bit down because you make everyone feel special and safe. Take care of that flock!"

I think we are in good company; Jesus described himself as the Good Shepherd.
