TWO HORSES
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".

All around you, people will be tiptoeing through life, just to arrive at death safely. But dear children, do not tip toe. Run, hop, skip, or dance, just don't tip toe."
howdy, tob. YVW. I just had such a beautiful day and friends had a lot to do with it. I actually wasn't done yet . . . I had a 2-horse walking gif and I went to Preview & it posted!!! I was just getting used to the other format!! 🙂
Well, here they are. . .

Good day all.
A wonderful and beautiful day in our neck of the woods. Has warmed up a bit, the sun is out and the air is refreshing and clean. Much to be thankful for no matter who we are or what we believe.
Was reflecting on Love Thy neighbour this morning. Was thinking of the cross and how a man hanging on a cross would be recorded as saying (praying) " Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do."
The ultimate act of love. In a time of His own personal crisis, He could only think of the welfare and betterment of His neighbours. What a transformed world it would be if every person would consider the welfare and interests of their neighbour before their own (regardless of what they personally believe).
Take care all and enjoy this day.
