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!
LIFETIMEME 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.
i'm sure you all have read this before somewhere. i just wanted to share it again.

after i added this i was going to delete it cuz i thought it sounded corny. i didn't because i liked the part that said love is blind but friends are clairvoyant.
i don't read anywhere that says love ends. relationships may end but that does not mean that love does.
i can think of several friends that for whatever reason we no longer see each other but they still hold a special place in my heart.
i'm thankful for friends that were there when i wanted to commit suicide. the relationship is still there. the love is still there. the need isn't.
i'm thankful that someone thought me enough of a friend that they confessed they wanted to commit suicide so i was able to be there for them. the relationship is gone but the love isn't.
sometimes we act up and force our friends to take a stand. sometimes we lose them and sometimes we don't. but for me - the love is still there.
were my friends in costa rica only for a season. i think so but i hope not. i will always love them.
friends are a part of us. whether for a reason, a season or a lifetime. they form a part of who we are. the relationship may end but if we love them we keep them in our hearts.
agree with you teri.
