TWO HORSES
Great lesson from them
Two Horses Author Unknown
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 stop your car, or are walking by,
you 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. If you stand nearby and
listen, you will hear the sound of a bell.
Looking around for the source of the sound,
you will see that it comes from the smaller
horse in the field.
Attached to the horse's halter is a small 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 that he
will not be led astray.
When the horse with the bell returns to the shelter of the barn
each evening, it stops occasionally and looks 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.
Other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their way....
Good friends are like that... You may not always
see them, but you know they are always there..
Be kinder than necessary-
Everyone you meet is fighting
Some kind of battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...

We walk by faith and not by sight. True wisdom. Thank you for sharing this :)
