Reason and season for friendships

Everyday we are making new friends. At our age, often we get news of another friend has passed away or 'promoted to Glory' or "gone Home to be with the Lord forever."

Some of our friends are unable to connect with us through e-mail or snail mail. They are too old, too frail or the mind has gone. We know they are still alive, but we cannot communicate, but we continue to pray for them. We thank God for  they came into our lives for some reason or season.

In my note book I found the following poem by an unknown author and I would like to share with friends who read this blog.


Reason, Season, Lifetime (Poem)

 People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,

you will know what to do for each 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.
