The Lion and the Lamb


This is the card I made for the Hub for our anniversary next week. I love this stamp. There is a line from a Mormon hymn that says: "How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion shall lie down together without any ire." One Sunday, when I was having an especially hard week with one of my teenaged sons, we happened to sing this hymn in church. The thought occurred to me at that moment: what if I am, in fact, the lion in this relationship, not the poor picked-on lamb. (I'm a Leo after all, not that that has anything to do with it.) That paradigm shift has changed my view of many of my relationships. I often find myself asking, Am I the lamb here or the lion?
