Just up the road
from my temporary home was a field, with two horses in it. From a distance,
each looks like every other horse. But if one stops the car, or is walking by,
one 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.
Listening, one will
hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, one will
see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to her bridle
is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow
her.
As one stands and
watches these two friends, one sees 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.
What is the message for us?
