Obi Woo is a kind shepherdess who lovingly cares for her little flock of sheep in a make-believe land where everything is possible. Everyone is special. Each moment is an adventure to be relished! In this particular story, Obi Woo teaches her sheep that sometimes when things don’t go as planned, they can create a whole new adventure, even meet new friends. They learn that everything isn’t spoiled. In our home, we call it reframing. This story also reveals a bit of reality. In every gathering of people, whether family, friends, coworkers or classmates, there will always be the grumblers who see the glass as completely empty and broken. Some will see it at least half-full and salvageable. Blessed is the gathering who has that one person who sees the glass not only full but spilling over with possibilities just waiting to be discovered. That is electric. It can transform not only the circumstance, much to everyone’s delight, but will inspire other people around them. The warm little cave on One Baa Lane was filled with love, kindness, and grace. Obi Woo knew that her little woolly sheep were all grumbling and snippy, yet she didn’t chide or punish them for feeling that way. She saw through all of that. Obi Woo knew their hearts were broken by disappointment and helped them through it by showing them how to move on and look for the possibilities. She didn’t tell them that they had to wait for the rain to stop. She taught them quite literally how to reframe their rainy day! Thank you, God, for loving us when all we see is disappointment in our circumstances; but you see the possibilities you have designed for us if we will just let you teach us how to dance in the rain anyway!
