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 fulfilleed; 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.....
I saw this on a friend of mines page and stole it thanks Cara. I think it is kind of fitting to my world right now. I will be the first to admit I have the most amazing friends some of you are life long friends and I have known since I was a child, others are friends I made in college and dont think I would be the same person without you. Then there are my newest friends who have come along with I had given up on things only to show me a new side to life. I love each and everyone of you and I am glad you are a part of my life it wouldnt be the same without you. Some of you may leave like this says and if that is the case I will be sad but I will carry on the lessons I have learned from you. I hope each and every one of you is a lifetime friend but I will understand if you are here for a reason or just a season because my life has become better knowing you.
