Baa. Ding-a-ling. A sheep wearing a bell leads a mob down the road. Ranchers and dogs direct the sheep. Cars stay back to let them pass.

The grass really is greener on the other side!

Pray: Thank God for ranchers who lead sheep where they can eat and rest. God leads us to Himself. He is our rest.

The sheep travel through the foothills. They spend the summer in the Boise National Forest. There they fatten up on fresh plants. This helps prevent fires. It boosts plant growth. Ranchers will herd the sheep back down in the fall.

David said God was like a shepherd to him. “He makes me lie down in green pastures.” (Psalm 23:2)
