Forever is a very long time. Sometimes we have a friend and we sense that our souls are very closely connected. We know that the connection is something rare and very special. We know that wherever we are in our lives we will always remain friends. Even if we do not see each other for years we are able to pick up right where we left off. This is what people mean when they say friends forever.
Do you have a forever friend in your life? I know I am lucky enough to have a few. Whenever we talk there is no need to apologize for time gone by unspoken. It is so wonderful to have that in this crazy thing called life. Just knowing that you always have your friendship and no need to explain why you didn't call and they won't take it personally....... its just a kind of unspoken contract that you know that sometimes life can get crazy and they will call when they can and they think the same of you. It makes it all the more fun when you do get to catch up! You know that you are in each others thoughts and you will reconnect again.
Here is a wonderful poem that a friend of mine just reminded me of not so long ago........so true.
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.
