People always come into your life for a reason, a season and 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 a 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 a lifetime of 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.....
