Well....I didn't get a chance to give all my animals to the place I had wanted. Just the sheeples. I will be delivering them next weekend, along with the hay, pumpkins, apples, etc. They will sell little Fats with a group of their lambs of a similar age, but the girls will be bred and kept in their flock.
I may just sell the chickens, as painful as that will be. I've been developing some of this flock for the past 4-5 years, so this won't be easy. Actually...none of it is easy.
But....God calls and I will answer. God has laid this problem on my heart and I can no longer put my own feelings in front of this strong urge and pull to let go of these Earthly attachments. I think He may have something planned for me...maybe a mission trip, or something similar. Whatever it is, I should have listened back during the summer but didn't. I wanted
my flocks!
I simply do not know what to do about Jake, so I am turning him over to God's hands and see what God comes up with for him. If anyone ever wanted to know if animals miss their mates...well, he does. He whines toward the house because he thinks she is in here. Then, when he comes in the house he looks for her. He paces and cannot lie still...finally he indicates he wants to go out, she is simply not in here. He runs joyously out and runs to their barn, looks around, looks towards the orchard...and runs right back and whines to get in~he has checked, she's not out there.
He just keeps
looking for her.
what???
