A Special Christmas Wish from Our Family to Yours – ‘Two Horses’
There were two horses in a field. From a distance, each
horse looks like any other horse, but the difference was quite amazing. Looking
into the eyes of the older horse will disclose that he is blind. His owners
have chosen not to have him put down and have made a good home for him. If you
stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell. The sound is coming
from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to the horse’s halter is a small
bell. It lets the blind horse know where the other horse is so he can follow.
The horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse. The blind horse
will listen for the bell and then slowly walk to where the horse with the bell
is, trusting that he will not be led astray. When the horse with the bell
returns to the barn each evening, it stops occasionally and looks back to make
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. Other times we are the guide horse
helping others to find their way. Good friends and family are like that. You
may not always see them, but you know they are always there. Please listen for
our bell and we will listen for yours.
Merry
Christmas from our family to yours!
