The Lost Sheep word search — free and large-print — follows a shepherd into the hills, searching for the one that wandered from the fold.

About The Lost Sheep

In this parable, a shepherd leaves ninety-nine sheep safe in the fold and sets out alone across rocky hillsides to find the single one that has strayed. There is no rest until it is found — and when it is, he lifts it onto his shoulders and carries it home with more joy than the whole flock could give. The story is small and human and complete: a picture of grace that does not calculate odds, only loves.
