Sharpening Iron

In the past couple of days I have been contemplating how iron sharpening iron affects us in our everyday lives. Several years ago, I had a conversation about this with a close friend. We always encouraged the other to have an Iron sharpening Iron relationship with those that God put in our path. One of the things that we discussed in this conversation was that Iron Sharpening Iron...is represented in Marriage. I remember our many discussions on this thought and verse, however, last night it really hit me...Iron sharpens Iron. If we are focused on those we love and those that are presented to us among the paths that we walk, we are in some way sharpening ourselves...that is allowing us to give so much more back to those whom we love.

The last few years of my life...have been living out Iron Sharpening Iron. Maybe I walked everything to be apart of the iron sharpening iron process. Who really knows, but I do know that because someone lived their life this way...it gave me sharper iron to keep going.

Thank you my friend...Oh how I still miss you and how the memories never leave me, nor the wisdom that you instilled in me to live out. You were and still are a treasure from the Lord. Thank you for giving me Iron to sharpen Iron!
