| People always come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. |
| When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do. |
| .. |
| When someone is in your life for a REASON, |
| it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. |
| They have come to assist you through a difficulty, |
| or to provide you with guidance and support, |
| to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. |
| They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are. |
| They are there for the reason you need them to be. |
| ... |
| Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, |
| this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. |
| ... |
| Sometimes they die. Sometimes they just walk away. |
| Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. |
| What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. |
| The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on. |
| ... |
| When people come into your life for a SEASON, |
| it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. |
| They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. |
| They may teach you something you have never done. |
| They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. |
| Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. |
| And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, |
| the season eventually ends. |
| ... |
| LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; |
| those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. |
| Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); |
| and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life. |
| It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. |
| Thank you for being part of my life. |
