I truly believe that things happen for a reason. People come into your life to teach you lessons you need to learn. For me, letting go has always been a hard, hard thing.
Today I let go of something important to me. But, as the hours go by, I am finding that what holding and being involved brought into my life is still here - friends I am blessed to have met and to continue to have. Knowledge I have gained and will continue to use throughout life.
And I am finding that I feel lighter - so holding was also a source of stress as well as of blessing. Letting go and feeling lighter means I was feeling stress I did not know. And, so this letting go has taught me to recognize that it is ok to come to the end of myself, and healthy to know when to step away.
I am at peace. :)
I look forward to the lessons yet to be learned.
Reason Season Lifetime
ReplyDeletePeople always come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
It is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
Or to provide you with guidance and support,
To aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are.
They are there for 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 just 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 it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON,
It is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They may 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.
And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall,
The season eventually ends.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
Those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person anyway;
And put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being part of my life,
Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
