I got this email today and it couldn't be more fitting...



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.

I am now finding myself classifying certain friends...lol. I have my friends for life, that I have continued to communicate with despite life taking us in different directions.

And I have friends that I swore would be my friends for life...but then I moved and now no longer really talk to them. One particular friend is that way. Even though I have emailed/IMed her, she doesn't really respond...and now I'm okay with that. I realize now that she was a friend for a season, not a friend for life.

Thank you for sharing that. I am now no long mourning what should have been a lifetime friendship.

[Eleysia]

Awe Jenn me too!

I believe everything happens for a reason. I really can't explain how true this is... and what perfect timing for me to get it today, amongst all the stuff going on in the room.

I am sorry that your "season" friend has moved on, but there are many more new ones coming you way!
