Baby Animals

This is one of the ewe lambs checking out a bug in the hay. Yesterday, I went out into the pasture to call the horses up, and they were jumping. It looked like the lambs were trying to do an Irish jig or something, except that they had four legs instead of two. :-) The calf tried once, and had a "forget it" look on his face after that. It was funny.

This is the bull calf. We intend to band him, but will wait to do that until we are ready to vaccinate him, and do it all at the same time. Bud, our next door neighbor, named him BLT as in Better Lean and Tender. The boys call him their version though, and that is LSP- Lip Smackin' Burgers.

This is Peanut, our Morgan yearling. He's trying to figure out my camera in this shot. He could not figure out what that that thing was. :-) In any case, it was between my hand and his forehead, which he wanted me to scratch. He was more interested in getting attention than figuring out the grey thing. :-)

Sarah Had a Little Lamb...

...Or three. Yesterday, one of the three ewes that are expected to lamb this month had triplets. All three in the set were ewe lambs. They're so funny to watch! Mom can't get over how funny they are when they wag their tails. :-)

The lambs, chickens, and cats keep checking each other out. The cats don't quite know what to make of the babies. The lambs are about the same size as the cats are, but they sure don't act like kittens. :-)

Which Son?

The readings for  this last week were Genesis 41-44, Zechariah 3-4, and Matthew 27. This is what stuck out to me specifically.
Benjamin is the Son of my Right Hand, or Son of Favor.
Judah is the Celebrated.

Judah was willing to lay his own life on the line to protect Benjamin.

Yahshua Barabba is Son of (a/the) Father.
Yahshua Ha'Mashiach is Yahshua the Anointed.

Yahshua -the anointed son- laid down his life for the sins of every man's son.

Scripture doesn't say what tribe Barabba was from, but we do know that Yahshua Ha'Mashiach was of Judah. He willingly gave his life in place of the son favored by the crowd.

So, not only is the story of Joseph a "type" of the Messiah, but so is the action taken by Judah in Genesis 43.
