The Horse and the Value of Teamwork

An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse, named Buddy. He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull!" Buddy didn't move.


Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!" Buddy didn't respond.


Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Coco, pull!"


Nothing.


Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!" The horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.


The motorist was most appreciative and very curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.


The farmer said, "Oh, Buddy is blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try."






For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.


- Matthew 18:20 (King James Version)






Dear Lord we thank you for our friends. We pray that we would be the support and encouragement that they each need. We thank You that you are always there with us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
