> Just up the road from my home is a field, with 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.
