#348 Who is in your life? And, in whose life are you?

Every once in a while this messages reaches me through email. It is very poignant and meaningful to me. It usually asks the recipient to pass it along. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. This time I did plus I posted it here. Feel free to pass it on, post it on your own site, ignore it or leave a comment.

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.











GUARDIAN ANGEL

We all have guardian angels and we are all guardian angels for someone else. Life is good.

Sweet sentiments, but what about those people in your life who are jerkoffs?

I think the reason for them is to aggravate us.

I have only ever seen this as a text message, it has more punch when used with illustrations.
