Two Horses

Received this not so long ago by a friend on bbm...just had to share, it's so beautiful!!

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 you 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 harlter 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,
adn the blind horse will listen for the bell and
then slowely 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 owner 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
other 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 there.

Pleaseb 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

FOR WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT
