Two Horses
author- unknown
Just up the road from my home is a field, containing two horses.
From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you stop and look, 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 his 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 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.
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 other 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 the God's
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 then but you know they are always there.
Please listen for my bell and I will listen for your.
And remember-
Be kinder than necessary, as everyone you meet is fighting
some kind of battle.
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply,
Speak kindly.... & then
Leave the rest to God.
