The Good Shepherd By Laura Smith There once was a flock That was lost and afraid It wandered around Without direction for days But the Lord looked down With compassion from above And sent a good shepherd To lead them with love The shepherd was kind Loving and wise And he cherished his whole flock No matter the color or the size Though the shepherd was quiet Humble and meek Every ear listened Whenever he would speak He showed them the way To walk in the light And he prayed every day For God to give them true sight He taught them about The blood of the Lamb And about the creator The great I AM They flourished and they grew Through the knowledge they gained About the Saviour from above Who lived without blemish or stain The flock was so thankful To the Lord up above For sending a wise leader Who was so full of love He lead them with A strong and gentle good hand And took the whole flock Safely into God's Promised Land
Two causes of equal importance are highlighted throughout the country in the month of October. One is breast cancer awareness, and the other is domestic violence awareness. The color pink is associated Breast cancer awareness. This month is set aside to spotlight this disease and encourage early detection. One out of eight women in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and millions are surviving the disease. Early detection is the key. The pink for women and blue for men ribbon reminds us that men are not exempt from breast cancer even though it is rare. The color purple is associated with national domestic violence awareness to the issues faced by battered women and men, and their children. In 1987, the Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed and the first national toll-free hotline was established. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence provided key leadership to pass legislation to help those who have been beaten by their spouse, and to create public awareness of domestic violence deaths. We are asking everyone to be vigilant of their co-workers and neighbors, who may be fearful of talking about an abusive spouse, but who may need the help of others. Many people throughout the United States wear a purple ribbon or hold a candlelight service to honor their family and friends who have died as a result of domestic violence.
