I don't know who originally wrote this. It's been circulated around the internet for quite awhile and it always shows up in my in-box at the precise time I most need it...like today.
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.

i think i like the thought, ceinna. now if only people we meet have nametags (in big fonts and neon colors) that clearly indicate whether they're "for a reason," "for a season," or "for a lifetime." that would really make our lives much more pleasant now wouldnt it? lol

I keep coming back to this post over and over, I knew it had meaning for me, and I just figured the reason :-) aaww thank you so much for posting this, I am not exaggerating here, I first came across it when you first posted it, at a time when I needed to read it. I didnt get chance to comment the first few times I viewed it, but Ineeded to read it each time.
then I came to it on a mission to comment because it had had such meaning to me.. then I came back again and again since 2 days ago!! and then, just now, I was laying in the bath, soaking my worries away, and I'm laying there thinking about this post, and then it ll fell in to place,reason season lifetime... It really helped me to make sense of my world, so I guess I am making up for the other zillion times I looked and it meant something but I didnt comment, by writing an essay now!! lol :-)
thanks for sharing it xx
