Horse Sense
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 of the horses will disclose that he is blind.
His owner has chosen not to have him put down, and 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 sees that it comes from
the smaller horse in the field.
Attached to her bridle is a small bell which
lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.
As you stand and watch these two friends, you 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.
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.
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you Humble,
Success keeps you Glowing...but
Only GOD keeps you Going!!
