My 1213 resolution: CELEBRATING FRIENDSHIP!



 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 

I received the following text from a friend, Carole, who e-mailed it to me a few days ago.! It is something to reflect upon. It gives insight on some on the reasons we have friends in our lives. Also why we have to let go of certain people and go through some form of mourning because of the loss. 
I'm posting it today because I want to share with a LOVELY friend! You may be one of mine or someone else’s but a FRIEND indeed!!   

                                  SUZANNE

P.S.  The text is meant to be a serial e-mail. I hate those things but I did something about it,  as you can see. I decided to keep the essence of the message and the English version. If YOU would like to forward it to others ... just do as you wish … I've done what I like and feel comfortable with. LOVE!!

THE PERSONS IN YOUR LIFE
 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 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.

Then 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 for being a part of my life,
Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
I would like to add ...
And wherever you are on this planet!
