Reason, Season and Lifetime


People come into your life for a reason, a season
or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you
act accordingly and know what to do for that 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.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or
learn. They bring you an experience of peace or
make you laugh. They filled your emptiness.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
They could at one time be your enemy, and a friend
some other time. 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.

So peeps, thank you for being a part of my life, whether you
were a reason, a season or a lifetime. I appreciate it all =)
