I'm not religious or anything but i did like this one because the meaning behind it.I think its a good reminder how we can overcome almost anything. I didnt write this
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 you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing. Looking into the eyes of one horse you will discover 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 nearby and listening, 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 her halter is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see how she is always checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk to where sheis, trusting that she will not lead him astray.
When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, she stops
occasionally and looks back, making sure her 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 see. Good friends are like this. You don't always see them, but you know they are
always there.
Please listen for my bell . . . and I'll listen for yours.

great post, my grandfather had a blue healer that had developed gloucoma in both eyes, he could see you when you got up close but he couldn't distinguish one person from another from a distance, his hearing was also failing, at around 11 or 12 years of his life my grandfather bought a couple of geese, these geese became that dogs eyes and ears, don't believe it, well one of my buddies tried grabbing one of the geese, my grandfathers dog was on him in short order, you story and this one just go to prove, we can do some amazing things when we work together
