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
