FOODFORTHOUGHT

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 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.

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 God and
those whom he places in our lives. Other times we are the guide horse,
helping others see God.

PRAYER
"Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Inflame my heart with a burning love for you and with an expectant faith in your saving power. Set me free from all that hinders me from drawing closer to you."
