My grandmother was not a perfect person and I have memories and knowledge gained from her with a negative connotation. In my life I realize that I am not perfect; although I may claim otherwise, and I realize that people will remember my imperfections as well as any positive impact I have or potentially will have on their lives. As I analyzed my relationship with my grandmother I realized that I want others to benefit from time spent with me just as I did with my grandmother. People impact others no matter how much time they spend together, so it should be every person's goal to have a positive impact on everyone they meet and help them grow just like other people have helped you grow. Psalms 27:17 explains this concept well by saying, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (NIV). It should be every person's goal to refine others just like my grandmother did
