I came across this, arhm, poem (?) in my sis-in-laws website. I found it to be real, touching and so real. I hope to inspire and touch people with this note…I hope my readers would like it as much as I did.
REASON…SEASON…LIFETIME
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 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 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.
