Transcript

People come and go in our lives.

Some play a positive role,

Others a negative role.

Some come and go quickly,

Some stay a while,

Some stay a long time.

Some we miss,

Some we can't wait to leave.

They all make a difference and contribute to creating who we are.

The following well-known piece by an unknown author may help you understand why.

Reason,

Season or lifetime.

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.

Ooooh Estelle, it was so good to hear your voice again โฃโฃ I have missed your Lives, missed being with you. You always made me feel like I was sitting in my favorite Aunt's living room waiting for her to tell me a story. I truly wish she would have told me this, I wish ANYONE would have told me this when I was young. When my Best Friend moved away when I was 6, or when a new Best Friend moved out of Province at 14. The List would be as long as my arm if I kept going. I'm going to write this down and give it to every young person I know, come to think of it, I probably should give this to all of my friends. ๐Ÿค—โค Well, I apologize for going on, but this really hit me where I live. Estelle, I find it hard to thank you sufficiently, you hold a special place in my heart, you always have. May God Bless You Always. Maureen ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™โคโค๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ•Š๐Ÿ•Š๐Ÿ•Š
