People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime...

I have been reminded of this by a recent experience:


Thanks for Being Part of My Life

People 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, to provide guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.  They may seem like a godsend, and they are. 

They are there for a reason you need them to be.  Then, without any wrongdoing 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 or out and force you to take a stand. 

What we must realize is that our need have been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.  They move on. 

When people come into our life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.  They may bring something to teach you or something you have never done. They usually give you something and it is real!

But, only for a season.

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 of your life.

It is said that love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life.

This quote is so true.  We may not realized it, but this is happening everywhere all the time.  It is remarkable of how far we truly go in life and do this to people that we may not even realized it's one of the three!!!  I am really grateful for the relationships along with the experiences that I've had, the GOOD and the BAD.
