Two Horses

Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it.
From a distance, each looks like every other horse. But if you stop
your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing.

Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner
has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him. This
alone is amazing.

If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking
around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from
the smaller horse in the field. Attached to her halter is a small bell.
It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.

As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see how she is
always checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then
slowly walk to where she is, trusting that she will not lead him
astray. When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, she stops
occasionally and looks back, making sure her friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away
just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or
challenges. He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us
when we are in need. Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the
little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives Other times we are
the guide horse, helping others see.

Good friends are like this .......... You don't always see them,
but you know they are always there. God sees to that. Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.

Have a blessed day!
