When you know which one it is for a person, 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 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.
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.
This inspiration from my Uncle Gunn blessed me this morning.
I am thankful to have him in my life and I love him to pieces.

Michelle – I don’t where to start – You made touched and emotionally reading your blog. People come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime, there is no discussion about it. You made me cry and suffer as my young brother was injured last week in Israel. I miss my family;)

I don’t normally visit many posts on weekend anymore, and I deleted the emails I had, as it vanished, I saw your title and it is from one of the things I have said for a great many years. Except I call them “Week friends; year friends; lifetime friends”. With the lifetime friends, you can do or say something that would stop any other people talking forever, but with them, it may just change the type of friendship, sometimes making it so much stronger because you see the fallibilities of the friend. They are there through anything and everything.
That same mistake can be what ends the “reason” or “season” friendships. I lost a lot of “season” friends when someone caused a rift in my family, and before that, my divorce. I still speak to some of my “reason” friends, but I don’t meet them like I used to. One in particular helped me get through the divorce. The way that stopped was we would meet every week or every other week, and the last time we met, she was distracted and invited other people as it would only be us two. So I decided to wait for her to arrange the next coffee. Still waiting three years later.
