I'm sure most of you have seen "A reason, a season or a lifetime", If not I've posted it on this board before (

...just some comforting words about why people come in and out of our lives. These words have helped me out through difficult times.
Just an extension of it... the book I took it from goes on to talk about "a reason" or "a season" in more detail. Maybe some of you can relate to the words below.
Break ups are really difficult, especially when you didn't initiate it but when we find out the lessons that we needed to learn, it becomes (a little) easier to move on. At some point down the line, you will be looking back at this situation and thanking God for the lessons you learned and for clearing the path for better things to come your way.
A Reason…
When someone is in your life for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. 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, the person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they 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 fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. NEXT!
A Season…
“ When people come into your life for a season, it is because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it ! It is real ! But only for a season. In the same way that the leaves must fall from the trees, or the moon becomes full and then disappears, your seasonal relationships will end at the divinely appointed time. When that time comes, there is nothing you can say or do to make it work. There is no one you can blame. You cannot fix it. You cannot explain it. The harder you clutch, the worse it will feel. When the end of a season comes in a loving relationship, the only thing you can do is let go.
