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.

That was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.

Yes.... let's listen for the bells.

will find a bell to post when I'm in need okie dokie?

[SeptemberMorn]

I'm really touched by your responses... and surprised, too.

Yes, let's listen for that little bell that tells us where our friends are... and don't forget to ring yours, too! No matter how small you think your bell is, there is someone out there that is listening for that tinkling to find their way.

An afterthought that should in reality, be the prime thought:

thank you SeptemberMorn. we all need to hear that every now and again

[SeptemberMorn]

Yes, we do, don't we?

[(JD)]

I'm nearly deaf though, remember. Hope you have a big bell!

[SeptemberMorn]

It's not with our physical ears that we listen for that little bell.

Besides, you and I have that same "Owner" and He watches out for us. He's the One that brought us together in the first place. If I remember right, it was YOU that keep ringing that bell incessantly until I had no choice but to follow and see what it was all about.

ah yes... about the drink from the silver cup
