Reason, Season or Lifetime

Thank you Whether you are a Reason, Season or Lifetime
My friend Lynn Houghtaling sent me this. Love, Michele


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.
What you needed to learn from each other is completed
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.
