“Let’s go home,” Earle said.
The ewe placed her muzzle in Earle’s hand, and they inched forward.
Soon, she toppled.
Earle fell to his knees, “Father God, what’s my next step?” He fought panic and listened for the still small voice of the Lord within his conscience.
An idea came to him. Earle loosened Cooper’s girth, removed the saddle-pad, and placed the ewe on this makeshift sleigh. He fashioned an improvised harness from Cooper’s bridle and some rope. He attached this ensemble to the girth and reattached it.
Earle clucked to Cooper. It was then he realized he was lost. He couldn’t see the outcroppings to center him; all he could see of the blurred landscape was snow! He tried to track their direction, but their footprints were erased. He couldn’t even see the horizon.
christmas presence
“All who heard stored these things up in their hearts, saying, ‘What will this child be?’ ” Luke 1:66
I hope you’re more excited than you’ve ever been for Christmas more excited than when you were a little child waiting to open your Christmas presents. The excitement I’m talking about is not primarily an emotion but an expression of faith. It’s not based on Christmas presents but on Christmas presence. The Lord is present. We can see Him setting the captives free, healing the sick, and working miracles (see Lk 4:18). We sense His presence within us, as He purifies our hearts and turns them to Himself. We see the Lord present in the Church, His Word, and the sacraments.
