My Power Animal

I had a conversation with someone at one point a few months ago. They asked me what my power animal was. My response, A Lamb. here is why

Power Animal: Lamb

Wisdom of the Lamb: 
* Utter Dependent on its shepherd
* Can recognize its shepherd voice
* Gentle and easy prey for wolves
* Content to be in the field under its shepherd's watch
* Happy in it's shepherd's arms

The lamb is a creature that is happy and content with its life. Living it's days in peace and and trust, leaning completely on the shepherd of its pasture. The lamb as a power animal would help a person learn to just see life for the gift that it is, live one day at a time, and create a longing to always be with its shepherd. Being held and tended is a lamb's dream and beckons to its shepherd voice. Many of life's trials and storms get weathered by the lamb; either they just keep on doing what they do or run to the shepherd for his protection. The shepherd's love for his lamb is unbalanced and overwhelming. The lamb did nothing to earn this, it is just simply receiving the affection the shepherd wants to give.
