TWO HORSES IN A FIELD

       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.
