This poem is a beautiful reminder of our friendships :)

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

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you
were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
