Friends are in our lives.. for a reason...

I was sent this several years ago.. thought it might be of interest to others too..
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 realise is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Sometimes we have to let people go, even if we don't want to.
At the time, it's hard to do that.
In retrospect, we can see the reason for the season.
It's all about learning something from someone else.
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, is real. And only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons.
Lessons for you to build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation...
You can be inspired to accept the lessons... to love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life...
