From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
We need a Shepherd!
(My church email is not working! Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)Dear Friends,
It’s great to be back in Thailand and lovely to see everyone last Sunday!
Ratcha and I had a great trip in the UK, France, and Switzerland, and Ratcha was fascinated in her first encounter with sheep. At Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, one lamb came right up to us when I whistled – perhaps it had been hand-reared? I am no shepherd of sheep, but maybe that lamb thought I was!
Chatsworth Lamb!
Do you sometimes feel a bit lost, not sure what to do? Well, we have a guide, a shepherd, and that is Jesus! He is the pattern for our actions and teacher for our understanding! He cared for the people – his sheep – just as we should care for one another!
So let us trust in that great shepherd of the sheep and also be shepherds one for each other!
The readings for this Sunday will be from 2 Samuel 7:1-14a, Ephesians 2:11-22, and Mark 6:30-34, 53-56, and we will be singing the hymns The Lord’s My Shepherd, Mothering God, and The King of Love My Shepherd Is!
