A Shepherding Spirit
Shepherding has something to do with
Loving
Listening
Learning
Leading
Loving
A small girl, sent on an errand by her mother, returned after an unusually long time.
When her mother asked the reason, the girl replied,
“I met a friend who had broken her dolly.”
The mother asked, “You stopped to help her, then?”
“No,” said her daughter, “I stopped to cry with her.”
Mrs. E. McPherson, Whittier, California
Loving
The gift of shepherding is the gift of loving,
sharing, caring, helping, serving.
We cry with the person.
We celebrate with the person.
We are present….fully….with the person.
Listening
A small girl, sent on an errand by her mother, returned after an unusually long time.
When her mother asked the reason, the girl replied,
“I met a friend who had broken her dolly.”
The mother asked, “You stopped to help her, then?”
“No,” said her daughter, “I stopped to listen
to her story.”
Listening
The gift of shepherding is the gift of listening.
Persons benefit from someone who
will listen….
leaning forward, attentive, paying attention,
not interrupting,
not interpreting,
actually listening.
Learning
A small girl, sent on an errand by her mother, returned after an unusually long time.
When her mother asked the reason, the girl replied,
“I met a friend who had broken her dolly.”
The mother asked, “You stopped to help her, then?”
“No,” said her daughter, “I stopped to learn
from her.”
Learning
The gift of shepherding is the gift of learning.
When we love….when we listen…we learn
We do not learn when we talk.
We learn when we listen.
We look for what persons can teach us about themselves…about their family….about life.
Shepherding is less about solving problems….
giving answers….providing solutions.
Shepherding is more about respecting the person,
honoring their integrity,
allowing them to teach us.
Leading
A small girl, sent on an errand by her mother, returned after an unusually long time.
When her mother asked the reason, the girl replied,
“I met a friend who had broken her dolly.”
The mother asked, “You stopped to help her, then?”
“No,” said her daughter, “I stopped to share
with her.”
We share our experience and wisdom.
We live in humility.
We do not presume to know
what someone “should” do.
Leading is puzzling…. discerning….sharing….
Leading is not telling,
not advice pressing.
We share our excellent mistakes,
our learnings along the way,
our discoveries.
Our conversation is mutual, give and take,
gentle and searching.
God invites us to shepherd the person,
not come up with a plan.
The Lord is a Mighty WarriorHe leads me into battle.
His strong shield protects me.His singing sword leads me.
I will be victorious.
The Lord is a Great King.His dominions stretch for ever.
His fields and flocks are boundless.His cities and ports are splendid.
I will be wealthy.
The Lord is my shepherd.I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures.He leads me by still waters
He restores my soul.
Shepherding is the deed of the creed.Kennon L. Callahan
Sacrament….Hope
Shepherding is a sacrament.
An act of shepherding is an act of grace, compassion, community, and hope.
In the act of shepherding,
we experience the grace of God.
We share compassion.
We are community.
We live in hope.

Sacrament and Grace
Worship is a sacrament.
An act of worship is an act of grace, compassion, community, and hope.
In the act of worship,
we experience the grace of God.
We share compassion.
We are community. We live in hope.
We worship.
We discover the grace of God.God forgives our sins,
casual, mistaken, grievous.We are overwhelmed
with thanksgiving and joy.
Our sin….our sins weigh us down…burden….heavy anchor.
We experience forgiveness. We experience mercy.
We are restored.
Our lives are made new in worship.
The music….the prayers….
the scriptures….the sermon….
the gathered congregation….the stirring, moving, living presence
of the grace of God.
There is a sacramental quality to worship. The grace of God touches our lives.
We are new persons in grace.
We live whole, healthy lives….
in the day and week to come.
Wherever there is grace, there is worship.
Wherever there is worship, there is grace.
Wherever there is grace and worship,
there is sacrament.
