Day 5 Gently

"...he gently leads those that have young" (Isaiah 40:11). 

Lord, than You that You are always so gentle with me. Some days feel pretty rough, but that's only when I think I'm "maintaining" - going nowhere.  When I step back and remember that You are taking us all somewhere, I realize that, of course, we'll have rough days with hills to climb.  I am not the shepherd of my little lambs - You are!  In fact, I am a lamb, too, which means that You gather me in Your arms and carry me close to Your heart, too!  So, of course I can't always see the value in each day. Perhaps some days value just lies in being yours and not doing anything at all.

Tip: They say babies love to rest their head near mamma's heart to hear her heartbeat. I've tried many slings and currently love the Moby wrap for it's versatility - www.wearyourbaby.com. My baby always goes to sleep quickly when I wear him close to my heart.
