You Are a
Gift of Love

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know
exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is
usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or
inwardly. 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 or out 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 it is now
time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it
is because your turn has come to share, grow, or
learn. They may 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;
those things you must build upon in order to have a
solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the
lesson, love the person/people (any way); 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....
