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 has 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, The world does
not throw us away just because we are not perfect or
because we have problems or challenges. They
watch over us and even bring 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
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."
Listen for my bell and I will listen for yours!
Bless You!
