(John R.Ware)
There were two men both whom decided to get a horse. One man found a red
Rhone with much spirit. The other chose one more docile. They would go
riding together every day. It so happened on the route they would take
around the countryside, there was a ditch about eight or nine feet wide,
after a time it was apparent that the Rhone's spirit could not be shaken
and he gave everything he had in all he did. When coming up to this gap
in the trail he hurled it the first time. Because of the spirit in him
he was quick to respond and jumped it with no problem. Yet the more
docile horse would balk every time he came to the edge. He wasn't sure
of the distance; he would stand on the edge trembling with indecision
and doubt because the distance to him looked too great. Then one day
after awhile, coming up to the ditch and watching his companion take it
with ease, something happened within him, a knowing was born that he
could too. So with agility and ease he gracefully bounded over the
barrier.
Life is much like the two horses. When we as people come up against
trials or situations we just don't feel like we can make the distance or
that it just is too big and we don't know if we'll make it. So we balk
standing on the edge trembling. It's not until we depend upon the spirit
within. Then we are able to make it with ease. Until we quit looking at
the obstacle or trial through our eyes, they will always seem too big
for us. But there is a spirit within us that can judge the distance to
the other side and will give us the strength to make it through it.
As long as we let it.
It all comes to a choice whether we look for the spirit within or just
stand on the edge and balk. We will always have a choice.
