What are you??? Are you a Reason a Season or a Lifetime?
I came across this poem many years ago and realized I have lived my whole life according to this poem, I just never knew how to put it into words. Though I don't feel as if I am a religious person, this poem is used greatly in many Christian beliefs and I truly believe in the words of this poem. Read it and you to will realize every single person we come across fits into one of these categories. I value all of my friends, whether for a reason, season or lifetime! Enjoy!
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 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 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.
