Reason Season Lifetime

I haven't updated the blog in a long long time but since Rudi has formed a yahoo group, thought I'd post some thoughts again.

Well this one is not really all original thought but a poem I got from the 'net...

Here goes the poem...

Reason Season Lifetime

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 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 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 .

The poem says that people come into our life either for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Some of the auditors stayed a short while here and immediately moved on... others seem to be here FOREVER already (yikes that includes me!!!). We have interacted differently with each one and shared different degrees of connectiveness but nevertheless we know that we all belong to our audit family.

We may be here or on field or in some other part of the country or the earth (maybe someday, even in another part of the galaxy??? :-)) but somehow a tiny part of us would always make a footstep to go back and be with a joyful family! :-)
