The Blind Horse (Source Unknown)

[Guest guest]

Just up the road not far away is a field with two horses in it.

From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse.

If you stop and look With your own eyes, you will notice that one horse is blind

If you listen you will hear the sound of a bell. Attached to the halter of the other horse is a small bell. It lets his blind friend know where he is so it can stay nearby.

As you watch these two friends you will see that the horse with seeing eyes is often looking toward the blind horse

And shivers to ring the bell.

The blind horse listens for the bell

And walks toward the horse with the bell.

At the end of the day

When the bell horse goes toward the barn.

It stops occasionally and looks back, making sure that the blind friend isn't too far behind

Sometimes we are the blind horse

Being guided by the little ringing bell of those Who have been placed in our lives.

Other times we are the guide horse, Helping others to find their way.

Good friends are like this.

You may not always see them but you know they Are always there, especially in times of need.

Listen for my bell and I will listen for yours.

Be kinder than necessary for Everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Let this Season be special for you and yours. Let 2008 be great.
