When times are good friends abound,
When times are tough friends disappear,
Those who stay are very dear.
It’s a sad fact of life that in tough times we discover the true value
of friendship. Oh, how dreadful to start
a blog on such a negative note, yet it’s one that has to be brought to light
for it is indeed a sad reality of life.
The saying “People come into your life for a reason, a season or a
lifetime” has been a prolific lesson for me in the last two years as I have
experienced this saying in all its forms.
It is indeed painful to realize
that those whom you have known for many years, and have consider close friends
turn their backs and walk blithely away from a situation you have found
yourself to be in. These are the people
who are usually the “takers” of the world.
They know your company and actively seek it out when you are in a
position of financial stability. Without
thought to either themselves or you, they take no shame in holding their hand
out, often forgetting to graciously thank you for your generosity.
These friends, made me question my own ability to form a character
judgement, the made me question my sense of self worth and created doubt within
my own mind that perhaps they were right and I was deserving of what befell me.
These friends are really not friends at all. They are merely vampires who feast off the
wealth of others and have little worth of self not to mention esteem of
self. Do yourself a favour: Hold your
head high and walk away, forgiving them for their behaviour and acknowledging
the lesson they have brought you, let them go.
Friends should not befriend you for your financial worth. Friends befriend you for you. For the beautiful person that you are, for
the loving, kind, caring, and wonderful being that you were created to be. Friends seek your company for how you make
them feel as how they make you feel.
They are the ones who can lift you, making you laugh, sharing joy with
you, and loving you as you are. They do
not care if you have a million dollars in your bank account or have nothing at
all. They see your soul not the exterior
of whom you are.
Friends would never judge you for any action that you may take. They would tell you their truth yet would
support you nonetheless. Friends are
those, who would cry with you and carry your pain just as they would laugh and
rejoice with you and share your joys.
Treasure these friends, for they are the earth Angels who are true to
you in friendship on this earth plane. Nurture them and return to them the
beauty of the friendship you both share. Learn from them and teach them in
return. Hold them dear to your heart and
love them as they are for you never know how long they will be in your circle.
Reason, Season, or Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each 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.
