Overcoming Life's Obstacles: The Sheep's Resilience

Merry Christmas! My dad shared this with me the other day and I loved it so I had to share. “A rattlesnake bit one of my sheep in the face about a week ago. Deadliest snake that lives around here. The sheep’s face swelled up and hurt her terribly. But the old rattlesnake didn't know the kind of blood that flows through the sheep. Anti-venom is most often made from sheep's blood. The sheep swelled for about 2 days but the blood of the lamb destroyed the venom of the serpent. I was worried but the sheep didn't care. She kept on eating, kept on drinking and kept on climbing because she knew she was alright. Often the serpents of this life will reach out and bite us. They inject their poison into us but they cannot overcome the Blood of the Lamb of God that washes away the sin of the world and the sting of death. Don't worry about the serpent or his bite, just make sure that the Lamb's Blood is flowing through your veins.” From B.McGinnis WHEN THE RATTLESNAKE BITES Today we celebrate Emmanuel: God with us. Merry Christmas! Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 • • • • • •
