Reason, Season, Lifetime

This is an oldie but goodie that I have recieved numerous times via email, but it is one of my favorite, so I thought I would share it with you:


People come into your life or 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 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 (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.
I know why you are in my life and I
love you for that reason.
