TWO HORSES


There is a place in the countryside with a field
that has two horses in it.

From a distance, each horse looks like any 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 you stand nearby and
listen, 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 the horse's halter is a small bell.
It lets the blind friend know where the other horse
is, so he can follow.

As you stand and watch these two friends,
You'll see that the horse with the bell is always
checking on the blind horse. and that the blind
horse will listen for the bell and then slowly
walk to where the other horse is, trusting that
he will not be led astray.

When the horse with the bell returns to the shelter
of the barn each evening, it stops occasionally and
looks back, making sure that the blind 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 to
find their way....
Good friends are like that...
You may not always see them,
but you know they are always there.

Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.
And remember...
Be kinder than necessary-
Everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
