reasons, seasons, lifetimes

"people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

a reason: to meet a need.  they assist you through difficulty, provide support or guidance, aid you.  they seem like a godsend, and they are.  then, the relationship will come to an end. no matter how it ended, we must realize our need has been met,our desire fulfilled, their work is done.  we must move on.  
a season: your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.they bring experiences of peace or laughter.  they teach you something, bring you joy.  believe it, it is real.  but it is only for a season. 
a lifetime: teach you lifelong lessons, things you must know to have solid emotional foundations.  you must accept the lesson, the person, and use what you've learnedin all other relationships and areas of life.  
it is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant"
