At a time when we all need to look out for one another, this sage advice that has made the email rounds seems timely and more appropriate than ever…

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. 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. You may hear the sound of a bell and discover it is coming 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 that 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 walk slowly 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 to 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 when 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 hem, but you know they are always there.
Please listen for my bell and I’ll listen for yours.

Be kinder than usual, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle whether or not you can see it.                         - Anon - email
