⚓️Howards' Way Revisited ⚓️

This is a very imperfect draft and there are still lots of corrections to be made, but that's how I imagine Abby's return might have happened in #HowardsWay 😊 howardsway7.wordpress.com

@LoriShemek @Mr_Husky1 @Huggins2687 It is also heartwarming.

@Mr_Husky1 @Huggins2687 That is so heartbreaking…

Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind. These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken. These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does? He takes that rejected little one into His home, hand-feeds it and keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to His chest so the bummer can hear His heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock. But that sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first? That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows His voice intimately. It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the One who loves it and has experienced that love one on one. So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat. I am a bummer lamb adopted and loved by The Good Shepherd!! Hallelujah!!

@chrismeredith41 Incidentally, Leo holds the #HowardsWay trophy for the most daringly unzipped trousers 😂

Ooh la la Leo and Abby. Wish I could find a boat like that. #HowardsWay

It's amazing how he plays such a difficult piece with such ease.

@lynnepark_lynne Go on, then - a lot of us here still do it 😄

@HowardsForever I could happily watch that again

Today we wish Happy Birthday to Stephen Yardley - our incomparable and always adorable naughty boy of #HowardsWay Ken Masters🎂🍾🥂⛵️⚓️

@RNWales How did you guess? #HowardsWay

@HowardsForever I suppose he’s got his jacket sleeves rolled up.

@nickster747 @Harvey4Jan Old boy? How dare you! 😂

@Harvey4Jan Best wishes to the old boy.

It’s Mr Y’s 84th birthday ! And here finally is the official photo . My Y sporting a small reminder of the catastrophic fall he sustained in the first week of December - now fully recovered. Love to all you HW Lovelies out there and thanks for all the good wishes x

#HowardsWay @Harvey4Jan

Hurrah! Happy Birthday! We are so thrilled to see you safe and fully recovered. Jan, please take care of him - and yourself, of course. Maybe make him use a walking stick now (as some of us inevitably do...😂) 💖💝💓#HowardsWay ⛵️⚓️

@mpmeg @cathyevans0466 Brilliant piece of writing and acting.

@cathyevans0466 @HowardsForever And the Lord said..... "Hello, Ken Masters" 🤣🤣🤣

@JudithWinterbo4 😄👍⛵️⚓️

@HowardsForever Rascal him self

The absolutely epic Dance of the Knights from The Royal Ballet's Romeo and Juliet.

@Jennife81470933 👏👍

@HowardsForever Fabulous and very beautiful character. She slowly transformed from stroppy to sophisticated in front of our very eyes. Loved her. (And in Tenko before Howards’ Way too.)

Today is Cindy Shelley's birthday. Happy birthday to the (largely) unhappy and (often) misunderstood Abby in #HowardsWay

@JANUSZCZAK @KayStoneArt 😲👎

@KayStoneArt Stick with the day job.

My painting "Badger Wood" what does everyone think?

@adejacobsdj She was a good actress, but her career didn't go too well. She seems totally fulfilled as a mother and grandmother.

@HowardsForever She's still beautiful. I miss seeing her on my TV

@adejacobsdj Cindy then and more recently (with one of her grandchildren) #HowardsWay

@HowardsForever One of my fave Howards' Way characters. (Also my HW crush too)

This is the most amazing thing you'll see today! 💯 Psalm 50 in Aramaic by Trio Mandili — the language of Jesus. Haunting Miserere (Psalm 51 in Western Bibles). Grab tissues 🙏🏼 Translation from Aramaic down in the comments.
