It seems many of us have been discussing 'friendships' on our blogs and even on emails I have received lately. I know God continues to show me daily what kind of friend I need to be and that is friend of HIS! I was sent this from one of my dearest friends Machele and it blessed me. I wanted to share it with each of you. You know I have come to learn that things to do change, people change and friendships change and it is really okay! I used to think I couldn't live if there were change but I now see change is good and when God does something it is for a reason. Whether you have a friend for a reason, a season or a lifetime there is a purpose!
I pray I will always find peace as I have now to accept it when something may not be forever!
My new philosophy is it isn't all about quantity but quality! Thank you Jesus for my friends!
PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON
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.
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 have read that before and really like it. That use to be hard for me, but now I accept it. Each has its pupose and we have to trust God knows why.
You are right!! The great friendship we all should focus on is with Jesus. Why is it that is the one we take for granted the most? Maybe becaue He is ALWAYS there???

Paula, that is exactly what the lord has been showing me -- he is the friend that sticks closer to me than a brother.... he can be exactly what I need... THEN everything else will fall into place. Thank you for visiting me! I appreciate you!
