Friendship & Love

People come into your life for a reason, a season or
a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will
know what to do for that person. When someone is in
your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need
you have expressed. 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 wrongdoing 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 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 now it is time to
move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because
your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They 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,
things you must build upon in order to have a solid
emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the
lesson, love the person 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, whether you
were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

This applies even to our alcoholic loved ones.....especially our spouses
and ex-spouses...
