I received in a chain email this very nice email that reminds us of our blessings and allows us to show to others how much we thank God for them and thank them for being part of our lives.
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 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 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 all for being a part of my life,
whether you were ..
A Reason, A Season Or A Lifetime so ...
Maybe . . . We
were supposed to meet the wrong people
before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet
the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Maybe . . . When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but, often times, we look so long at the closed door that we
don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.
Maybe . . . It is true that we don't know what we have until we
lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have
been missing until it arrives.
Maybe . . . The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
best of everything; they just make the most of everything that
comes along their way.
Maybe . . The
brightest future will always be based on a
forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life
until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.
Maybe . . . You should dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because
you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you
dream of, and want to do.
Maybe . . . There are moments in life when you miss someone
-- a parent, a spouse, a love, a friend, a child, so much that
you
just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real,
so that once they are around you appreciate them more.
Maybe . . . The best kind of
friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling
like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
Maybe ... You should always try to put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the
other person, too.
Maybe ... You should do something nice for someone every single
day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.
Maybe . . Giving someone all your love is never an assurance
that they will love you back.
Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart;
but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
Maybe . . .
Happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who
hurt, all those who have searched, and all those who have
tried,
for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who
have touched their lives.
Maybe... You shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; don't go
for wealth, even that fades away! Go for someone who makes
you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile :-)
Maybe . . You should hope for enough happiness to make
you sweet enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow
to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
Maybe . . . You should try to live your life to the fullest because
when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you
was smiling but when you die, you can be the one who is smiling
and everyone around you crying.
Maybe. . .. You could share this message with :
those people who mean something to you,
those who have touched your life,
those who can and do make you smile when you really need it,
those who make you see the brighter side of things when you
are really down, and
all those whom you want to know that
"I appreciate You
and Your Friendship !"
