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
to see God.
"Good friends are like stars.....You don't always
see them, but you know they are always there."
