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 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 act out
and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is
that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled
and so their work is done.
The prayer you sent up
has been answered
and it is now time to move on.

Next!
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.

are always in our heart"
