"People always come into your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are. They are there for a 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 just walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilleed; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may 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. And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, the season eventually ends.
LIFETIME, relationships teach you a lifetime of lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway);, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being part of my life....."

Does this have any meaning to me? Yes, really it does. See, I believe with all my heart that God puts people in our lives for a reason, like the piece said "it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually." Since about the end of last year, I have struggled off and on with depression. I had thoughts of hurting myself, even killing myself. I can't say I would be here if it wasn't for God putting one person in my life. See, they (I know that isn't proper grammar) taught me about Christ without really even knowing it. Because of my faith, I knew that ending my life by my own hands was completely wrong, but I am still not sure if I would have known that if God hadn't put this person into my life. I don't get to see them as much now, so it kind of makes me sad. But I know that they did their job and I have to do mine, and part of that is moving on with my life in sort of a different location so I can help other people as that person helped me. I have thanked God countless times, but don't exactly know what to say to thank the person. I only hope they read this and can figure out who it is, since Im so revealing in my words (sarcasm). Anyway... that is the short version of my story...
