Want to Sleep Better?

 

As a kid when I had trouble sleeping my mother taught me to count sheep. Count sheep I thought….why would I do that? So I tried it and fell asleep.

When I got older my wife told me I should think of something soothing. A place or a memory that that could take my mind off my troubles. So I tried it and fell asleep.

Now I’ve taken to counting goats when I want to go to a place of Peace and Calm. I go there because they remind me of what can be accomplished with something so simple. They make me smile because I see children laughing and playing and working and going to school. I see rejoicing at being given a chance to live a dream….a dream of getting an eductaion.

I rejoice with families thousands of miles away from me, who now, because of a small determined four legged creature that won’t take no for an answer, can see a way to improve the life of their children. I laugh at the ridiculousness of it all and then work hard to be as ridiculous as possible and raise money to buy more of these silly little creatures.

I have decided that the goat is now my favorite animal and the more I count the better I sleep at night.

If you would like to sleep like a baby, laugh like a child and rejoice at helping your Christian brothers and sisters in Africa do the same and join me in 2017 and buy some ridiculousness. I know a great Shepherd who knows exactly what to do with your love.
