haqi, I'm posting to you because I know that you are a friend. And I know that you will understand what I'm saying in the spirit that it is shared.

Shepherds enjoyed a great heritage in Israel with Abraham, Moses, and David as notable shepherds and God being identified through Psalm 23 as a great shepherd. But by this time in
Israelite history, they were not highly regarded. They smelled like sheep. They spent their time with sheep. They were not really clean and religious enough to be considered spiritual. So when God chose to announce the birth of Jesus to shepherds with his contingent of angels he makes his point clear:

Everyone is loved by God, everyone has access to God, and everyone is desired by God.
