A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime?

People come into  your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out  which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. 

When someone is in your life for a REASON. . . It is usually to meet a  need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty,  to provide you with guidance and support, to aid  you physically,  emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, 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 walk away. Sometimes they act up 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 now it is 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 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. 

LIFETIME  relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build  upon in  order to have a solid emotional foundation... 

Your job is to  accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use  in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is  said that love  is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. 

Thank you for being a  part of my life.
