Friends





Friends...

I have read this email a lot of times and I recently received it again;
it's all about friendships.

(Would be great to have all of those things rolled into one but I guess we only find that in a lifetime love relationship ~ if we are lucky enough!)



~~~

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... (And what to expect of them...)


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.

Me too, Mary!

A friend SHOULD be a lifetime friend...but it isn't always that way!

I love the reciprocal nature of friendship.
It's so great to know you have a friend on whom you can depend, and it's great to BE that kind of friend too.
I love my blog buddies, and I consider them friends too, also, as well. We are not physical friends since we don't live in the same place, but we offer encouragement as we follow each others' lives.

I agree, Jamie D. I have several blog buddies who I have been friends with now for several years and I would be very sad to ever lose them...In fact, I feel as close as I would if we had known each other forever-and in RL-as the online saying goes! haha- ALL life is REAL LIFE as far as I can tell!

:)
