Humphrey also donated $50,000 to the UA-adapted athletics program to provide equipment and travel funds for wheelchair athletes.
As we lay wreaths and lower flags, remember we must live up to the ideals our heroes fought and died for.
Never said enough — thank you to the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our nation.
Let us always remember freedom is not free. #alpolitics
Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind.
These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken. These lambs are called “bummer lambs.”
Unless the shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the shepherd does? He takes that rejected little one into his home, hand-feeds it and keep it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to his chest so the bummer can hear his heartbeat.
Once the lamb is strong enough, the shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock. But that sheep never forgets how the shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him.
When the shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to him first? That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows his voice intimately. It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the one who loves it.
So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heart beat. We may be broken but we are deeply loved by the Shepherd.
Pray for MO State Rep. @BenBakerMO, his wife Naomi, & their family. Last night, their daughter Natalie & son-in-law Davy Lloyd were killed by gangs in Haiti, where they were full-time missionaries. Pray for God to comfort & strengthen this family. https://t.co/nrhg8MlzyV
