THE BLIND HORSE Author Unknow

The Blind Horse Unknown Author Received e mail

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 as 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.

Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is
fighting some kind of battle" ...how true this last line is. Everybody has
something they are dealing with.
