Tis the season for Germ-X. Well that's not exactly true, it's important all year long to me. I keep a big bottle of it next to my bed. I know it burns but it is kind of funny when someone uses it and breaks out in a little raindance and hollars ow-ow-ow, like an Indian.
I think our true friends can act like Germ-X too. They can point out our weak areas to us that we may not see ourselves. They can help us get the dirt out of our lives and lead us to purer lives. They can burn us with a rebuke for our own good.
So whether it's Germ-X or Friend-X, consider them a good thing keeping you from the bad things in this world. 'As iron sharpens iron, so does a friend.'
