ARE YOU A REASON,
A SEASON, OR A LIFETIME?
Pay attention to what you read. After you read this, you
will know the reason it was sent to you! People come into your life for a
reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will
know what to do for each 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.
Then 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. Stop here and just
SMILE
if you don't want to do this last part:
This is to show people you love them and to see how many
people
love you!!!!! Don't feel embarrassed, because only you will get the
results.
Send it to every friend that you have on-line, including the person who
sent
it to you.
0 Replies = you need to work on your "people skills"
2 Replies = you're nice, but need to be more outgoing
4 Replies = you have picked your friends well
6 Replies = you are downright popular
8 or More = you are totally awesome!!!! (Probably why you're on MY list!)
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
And dance like no one is watching.
