"Reason, Season, and Lifetime" People come into your lifefor a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When voi,figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your lifefor a REASON, It v usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly.
They ha\>e 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.
Thev are therefor 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 or out andforce 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 it is now time to move on.
When people come into your lifefo r a SEASON, it. is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience o fpeace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount o fjoy.
Believe it! It is real! But only for a season.
LIFETIM E relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon
in order to ha\>e a solid emotionalfoundation. Yourjob is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); d put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas o fyour life.
It is said that love is blind butfriendship is clairvoyant.
~ Acknowledgements ~ lie family of Melissa R. House would like to express their appreciation for all of your love, prayers, and support during their time of bereavement. We are truly
blessed that God has given us a great support group of family and friends. Please keep us in your prayers
