People come into your life for a reason

I received this email from my brother a couple of weeks back and I thought it would be good to put this on my blog....

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 a guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spritually.

They may seem 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 relationshop 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 never have 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 or a season or a lifetime.

Having read this piece a couple of times and having gone through this self awareness course last weekend. I can understand why I have fostered very close relationships with friends and some none and to my blogging world of friends, thanks for the support and kind words. To my new friends I made last weekend, thank you for being there for me for I hope that the friendships I have made are LIFETIME...

Wow, that is truly a beautiful sentiment. A friend told me a while ago, when I was going through a rough time, that people come and go from your life, and for that time that there were in it, they filled a need for you and when they gone, you realize that need is fullfilled.

Reading this, you made me remember those words and how true they are. Thanks for the great blog.
