Here is an short story from an old Sunday school lesson that I saved and put in my horse notebook.  Here it is!                            -Sarah-



The Foal

Once a young lady bought a foal.  She raised it and trained it herself.  As the foal grew, she trained him to be a trail horse.  They went riding into the woods for hours, jumping over fallen trees, splashing through rivers, joyfully taking on whatever the challenges the woods presented.  For many happy years they spent their free time riding trails. 

The years passed.  When the horse grew to be about 18 years old, he began to stumble on trails.  While it didn't seem to be anything serious. it worried his owner.  She took him to the vet and described his symptoms.  She said, "He's fine at home.  It's just that when we're out on the trails he stumbles sometimes over little things that shouldn't trip him."

After careful examination the vet gave her the new.  "Your horse," he said "has an eye condition.  He's probably been almost totally blind for the last two years."

"That can't be," she argued. "We ride new trails all the time.  How could he run over ground and through rivers he can't even see?"

The vet's reply stunned her heart.  "That," he said, "is how much he trusts you."



I think that led into trusting God.  Isn't that how much we should trust God...even trough the valleys, rivers and mountains?!  Hope you enjoyed!
