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 one stops the car, or is walking by,
one 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.
Listening, one will hear the sound of a bell.
Looking around for the source of the sound,
one will see that it comes from the smaller
horse in the field. Attached to
her bridle is a small bell. It lets her blind friend
know where she is, so he can follow her.
As one stands and watches these two friends,
one sees 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.
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 God and those whom he places in our lives.
Other times we are the guide horse, helping others see God.
Good friends are like stars.........
You don't always see them,
but you know they are always there.
