A friend shared it with me (story)

Two Horses

Author Unknown



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.



Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly.......



And leave the rest to God!
