|  Two Horses
This Is A Beautiful Message  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 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 friend know where she is, so he can follow her. As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll 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. 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 the bell. 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 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'll listen for yours. "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle".

Denise, that so touched my heart today. I have spent much of the day watching nature, it's baby time and I am fascinated watching the wildlife along the shore...and it has occurred to me that animals treat each other much better than we humans do sometimes, and we could learn from them, just like your horses. Thanks for the wonderful story. Hugs

Thank you all (((((((hugs)))))))) (((Ann))) amen to your post, it makes me wonder about some humans at times, maybe they should sit back and observe nature. (((Annie))) hang on tight sis, you've worked to darn hard to even think about using now, we both know it won't help matters at all only make things worse. (((Citychick))) I had the same reaction when I first read it. (((Rusty))) you're very welcome (((Sherry))) Quote:
Hope you all have a blessed day. All my love.....Denise
