I have other sheep that are
not of this sheep pen, I must
bring them also. They too will
listen to my voice, and there
shall be one flock and one
shepherd. -John 10:16
Jesus is the shepherd who
leaves the 99 sheep behind,
to go and search for the one
missing lamb. But John’s
picture of Jesus, as shepherd,
who brings other sheep in and
makes them part of the flock as
well.

understood the worldwide
implications of these words of
Jesus.
He was referring to a harvest
among Gentiles, when He
referred to “other sheep that are
not of this sheep pen”.
We have received the
greatest gift in the world. Why
are we so selfish with it?
In other words; we need to
share our gift. Reason why;
there are other sheep not yet
part of the flock. What can we
do to bring them in?
Don’t hold so tight to the
greatest gift mankind could ever
recieve; share it.

Leave wildlife
where they are
found
STOP! Before you pick up or
attempt to assist any wildlife,
no matter its age or condition,
remember that it is best to leave
young birds, bunnies, or fawns
where they are found, according
to the Georgia Department of
Natural Resources’ Wildlife
Resources Division (DNR
WRD).
“While it is normal to want to
‘help’ other creatures, wildlife,
even young ones, rarely need
interference from humans,”
explains Kaitlin Goode, wildlife
biologist and program manager
of the Georgia DNR WRD Urban
Wildlife Program. “And, in fact,
taking wildlife out of their natural
environment and bringing them
into your home often takes
away the animal’s ability to then
survive in the wild, where they
belong,”
The best thing people can
do when they see any wildlife
of any age is to immediately
move away and leave it exactly
as they found it for at least 24
hours. If the animal is still there
after this wait time, reach out to
a local WRD office for guidance
(GeorgiaWildlife.com/about/
contact).
Regarding young wildlife that
“appears” orphaned, Goode
says that “While it may appear
that a young animal is alone,
the adult animal is usually close
by even though you may not
be able to see it. Adult animals,
such as deer, spend most of
the day away from their young
to reduce the risk of a predator
finding the young animal.”
Wildlife, especially young
animals, demand a great deal
of care and have specific
nutritional requirements. If they
are not cared for properly, they
cannot be released or retain
the ability to survive on their
own. Persons not licensed and
trained in wildlife rehabilitation
should not attempt to care for
wildlife. Georgia law prohibits
the possession of most wildlife
without a permit.

Dear friends,
The word says, “Watch,

you do be done with love. I
Corinthians 16:13, 14. This
emphasizes courage as well
as maturity. Paul’s command to
do everything with love serves
as a balance to these strong
exhortations.
God never stops telling us, I
love you.

Calling all Georgia Farm
Dogs
Georgia Farm Bureau accepting entries for farm dog contest

Farm dogs play a special role
on the farm. They can serve in a
variety of roles such as herding
livestock or guarding livestock
and property.
Farm dogs also provide
an invaluable source of
companionship and joy to their
families. Many dogs make every
step their farmers do as they
complete their daily chores.
That’s why Georgia Farm
Bureau (GFB) is on a mission
to recognize a few furry farm
heroes through its 2024 Georgia
Farm Dog Contest. GFB is
accepting entries for the contest
until 10:59 p.m. on May 1 or
until 200 entries are received,
whichever comes first.
The contest is open to GFB
members ages 18 and over.
For complete contest rules and
the criteria entered dogs will be
judged by, visit www.gfb.org/24-
ga-farm-dog. Judging for the
contest will take place in May.
The winner and finalists will
be recognized in October at
the 2024 Sunbelt Ag Expo. The
grand prize winner will receive
a $500 gift card and a cover
feature in the organization’s
Georgia Neighbors magazine.
Georgia farm dogs have some
pretty amazing stories to tell and
GFB is looking forward to telling
them. Four runners-up will also
be featured in an upcoming
issue of Georgia Neighbors as
finalists.
GFB is known for its love of
dogs as Lucky, an Australian
Shepherd, has served as the
organization’s mascot since
2021. Georgia Farm Bureau
is a grassroots organization
dedicated to supporting the
future of Georgia’s family farms
and our access to locally grown
food and fiber. Membership is
open to everyone.
