[Jacob-list] Another Jacob story

[Gary and Nancy Claver]

There are so many interesting Jacob stories  that have been shared, I
thought I'd share one that really tickled us.  We let our ewes and lambs out
in the morning from their "night pasture"-- close to the house into the
larger pasture.  We put out some feed just outside the gate and the ewes
rush to it .  This day all the lambs took off running on down into the big
pasture.  One ewe noticed this and started off down towards the lambs
"calling" to them,loudly.  In a few minutes  she returned with docile twins
following her and resumed eating  while they remained close by her side.
Mamas are  the same everywhere I guess.
