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 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, this person will bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die, sometimes they walk away, or they may force you away.
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 you 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 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
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.
Love to you all and thank you for being part of my life. PFDN for all. Larry
