The Story Of Two Horses
Trust Jehovah Watches Over Us
Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it.
From a distance, each horse looks 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 you stand nearby and listen,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 the horse's halter is a small bell.
It lets the blind friend know where the other
horse is,so he can follow.
As you stand and watch these two friends,
You'll see that the horse with the bell is always
checking on the blind horse,
And that the blind horse will listen for the bell
and then slowly walk
To where the other horse is,
Trusting that he will not be led astray.
When the horse with the bell returns
To the shelter of the barn each evening,
It stops occasionally and looks back,
Making sure that the blind friend isn't too far
behind to hear the bell.
Like the owners of these two horses,
Jehovah 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 Jehovah places in our lives.
Other times we are the guide horse,helping others
to find their way....
Good friends are like that..
You may not always see them,but you know they are always there.
Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.

And remember...
Be kinder than necessary-
Everyone you meet is fighting
Some kind of battle..
"My son, my law do not forget, and my commandments
may your heart observe,because length of days and
years of life and peace will be added to you. May
loving-kindness and trueness themselves not leave
you. Tie them about your throat. Write them upon
the tablet of your heart,and so find favor and
good insight in the eyes of God and of earthling man.
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not
lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways
take notice of him,and he himself will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:1-6
