Thank you, Rev. Cameron. I love these stories of holy magnanimity! This one is somewhat reminiscent of the "Bishop's Silver" section in Les Miserables, a scene that brought me to tears when I first saw it acted it out. I will do my best to be a "giver of rams," and watch for other acts of mercy that show us God, that "droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven."
Keeping score eventually makes for unmanageable spreadsheets and maxed out cloud storage. Mercy and forgiveness make for light(er) burdens. May we go and do likewise.
I am wondering if there are enough RAMS.
Ha! Very good point.
This was a beautiful story... thank you for sharing.
That painting has my heart for all time. We need more shepherds in this world.
