Iron Sharpens Iron, Men Strengthen Men

The definition of a real brother can be more than

just a blood sibling;  He can be the guy you have

spent your entire life with since you were just a little man, or it can be someone who through the journey of life’s ups and downs, has become as close as a brother. Either way, a true brother in your life is the one who is there for you no matter what the circumstances.

It’s always painful for me to hear a buddy say they haven’t spoken to their brother in years because of something that happened a long time ago that they can’t get over. In the meantime, everyone in their family loses out on that bond, that connection that cousins get from spending time together. Bottom line, when parents inevitably pass from this earth, brothers only have each other. A strong brotherly bond should last forever because brothers have to look out for each other throughout life’s journey. That’s the way God planned brotherhood…you have each other’s back, no matter what the circumstances.

I ran across this list of important things to tell your brother and I thought it very appropriate for this blog. We are all about iron sharpening iron, and brothers strengthening brothers. Next time you see your bro, blood sibling or not, give him a bear hug and let him know you’re thankful he is around…

Remember:

There’s no other love like the love for a brother.
There’s no other love like the love from a brother.

5 important things you NEED to tell your brother

1. Brother, be the kind of man who when your feet hit the floor each morning, the devil says, “Oh Crap, He’s up!”

2. Brother, life is too short to wake up with regrets, so love the people who treat you right and forgive the ones who don’t. Not because you should, because you can.

3. Brother, believe everything that happens to you, happens for a reason. If God gives you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If that second chance changes your life, let it.

4. Brother, always take a few minutes to think before you act when you’re angry. Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy, He just promised it would be worth it.

5. Remember this Brother; A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you.

I end this post with a great quote from one of my favorite baseball players of all time from the past, Harmon Killebrew who said;

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.  Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing up the grass.”  “We’re not raising grass,” Dad would reply.  “We’re raising boys.”

Until next time guys…
