Come on down the road with us...
to pilgrim's cottage and farm...
Come see what we have gone and done...
My husband and I talked of it long enough...
we finally bit the bullet and bought our milking goats...
Well...one is a female...
the other, a male.
We are strangers to them...
so they look at us a little strangely...
wondering, what is this place...
and who are these people.
I kept company with them for a while...
trying to aquaint ourselves...
They stood and stared with suspicion in their eyes...
just standing and staring for a long time...
I sat on a rock and started to sing low and soft...
She moved her head with a little cock to it as if to say...
what is that noise?
He brought his head up and looked right at me...
For a minute, I thought it was a mistake to sing...
then, they both suddenly stopped all the staring...
and bent their heads to graze.
Still with just a little suspicious look in his eyes...
cautiously keeping one on me...
Once we've earned their confidence...
I'll think of names for them.
But now, I won't need to buy raw goat milk...
we will have our own.
Later today...
I will be learning to hand milk a goat.
God calls on his people to feast on Him and His word...
"Ho, every one that thirsteth,
come ye to the waters,
and he that hath no money;
come ye, buy, and eat;
yea, come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price."
Isaiah 55:1
May your day, or night, be blessed.
