After you read today’s Daily Treat, please continue to LISTEN TO MY PODCAST. After the Message, I give MY COMMENTARY & A PRAYER REFLECTION on today’s Message. I think you will enjoy it.

There was once a farmer who had just rescued a lost sheep. When asked how the sheep got lost, the farmer replied, “They just nibble themselves lost. They go from one tuft of grass to another, until at last they’ve lost their way.”

That’s what happens to us in life, isn’t it? We nibble away at life from one text message to the next and one task to do after another. Months and years go by and we have no idea where the months and years all went.

In a world that’s increasingly more scattered and scared, our task is to translate and transmit the voice of the Good Shepherd to all those who are lost, hurting, and alone.

Our life is very much about following Jesus’ example and welcoming everyone into the fold as Pope Francis continually taught us. We who are sheep should be able to understand that quite well.

Thanks to David Beckett for a couple of these thoughts.

Do YOU find yourself nibbling at one text message after another and one task after another? Do try to welcome someone today who is lost, hurting and alone.

SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WHEN THE WORLD IS OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING BUT LIARS AND SINNERS!!

Be sure to LISTEN TO MY PODCAST with my Commentary and Prayer which is found at the beginning.  Please invite others to listen as well.
