Are you a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime [by Ray Ilustre]

.. Lately I've been sharing friends' notes and entries. I just like to share how other people look at things and eventually open some eyes to the beauty of life and love.


One of Ray Ilustre's entries in her Multiply page talks about how you see yourself in a relationship with someone.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


..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 a 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 that you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

...Then 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.
