    Lightbulb Two horses

    A colleague of mine e-mail this to me, and I felt the need to share it with all of you~

    Two Horses

    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 get a closer look you will notice something quite interesting...
    One of the horses is blind.

    His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made him a safe and comfortable barn
    to live in. This alone is pretty amazing. But if you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound
    of a bell. It is coming from a smaller horse in the field.

    Attached to the horse's halter is a small, copper-colored 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 he will not be led astray.

    When the horse with the bell returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, he will stop occasionally
    to look back, making sure that the blind 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. And at other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their way.

    Well, I have to say, this "story" as you have shared, has indeed shown us another facet of your "personna" as previously presented. . . Kudos to you for this. Here, I had been under the impression that you were all about "muscle" without substance. . .It would appear that I was wrong in the impression as first perceived. Thanks for sharing, Mahalo. . .
