A Shepherd’s Gift

Sam Strickland wrote an encompassing poem about the Nativity through the eyes of a shepherd boy. The boy had essential duties, but after a miraculous visit by angels, he recognized that nothing he could do would be more important than being made a witness to the Christ child's first moments on Earth. Sam's poetic retelling will capture your heart through his masterful use of imagery. You'll see the scared young sheep in the river. You'll feel the respect of the shepherd boy for his father and his awestruck love of the Christ Child. You'll feel the tenderness of him watching Mary to learn how to hold the newborn babe. A Shepherd's Gift is a Christmas treasure. One that deserves to be taken out every year.
