I got this today from a friend......and thought I would share it...and it could NOT have come at a better time..........much peace.....

Here goes:
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 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 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.

I read this years ago, bravo for posting.

yeah good post

Lacks the smarminess, syrupy sappy shit most such things possess.

I think it's true, too

I love this one,have it saved in my e-mail.

I have heard this before, even Oprah talks about people been in your life for a reason.

Okay people take heed as it may have a ring of truth toward us all . . .

Excellent post!

I've always liked this, Donna... it gets interesting tho, when 2 people see each other in a different light on this "scale".

Kind of fits with my thoughts on letting go and holding on. Always a reason is definitely something I can relate to. Discerning between a season and a lifetime? Sometimes acceptance is hard to do.

To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones,
and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace.


Seasons, all part of the journey of life......
Each season has its own beauty....and its own less than beautiful things.....

Nice
