Just up the road from where I live is a field with two horses in it.
From a distance , each looks pretty much 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 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 friends know where she is ,
so he can follow her.

As you stand and watch these two friends,
you will see how she is always checking on him,
and that he will always listen for her bell and then
walk slowly 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 her bell.

Like the owners of these two horses,
God does not throw us away just because
we are not perfect or 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 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 will listen for yours.

for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle"

Love tells me I am everything,
