The news, sports, and recent TV shows had just about worn me down. So I recently turned to watching older and more historical programming. In so doing, a word crossed my path.
Farrier.
Yet what was seen before my eyes was an old fashioned blacksmith. It was fascinating to watch as he heated a strip of iron, methodically bending and shaping it until it became a horseshoe.
It was a slow process of applying heat first and then pressure or force to form the shape.
Then he called himself “a farrier”.
Farrier, as defined by the dictionary, is: “Farrier is now usually applied specifically to a blacksmith who specializes in shoeing horses, a skill that requires not only the ability to shape and fit horseshoes, but also the ability to clean, trim, and shape a horse’s hooves.” (from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
What is the connection between a farrier and friendships? I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE as we take a closer look.

I have a nephew who was a jockey and now is a ferrier. He is so talented. And of course he LOVES his clients.
