People come into your life for a reason,
a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which it is,
this is to help 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 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 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.

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 (any way); 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.
