For a Reason, Season or a life time
February 11th, 2008 by john-iommedanPeople come into my life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When I know which one it is, I will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in my life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need I have
expressed.
They have come to assist me through a difficulty, to provide me with guidance
and support,
to aid my physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend
and they are.
They are there for the reason I need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on my 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 me to take a stand.
What I must realize is that my need has been met, my desire fulfilled, their
work is done.
The prayer I sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into my life for a SEASON,
because my turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring me an experience of peace or make me laugh.
They may teach me something I have never done.
They usually give me an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach me lifetime lessons,
things I must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
My job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what I have learned to
use in all other relationships and areas of my life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life,
whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
