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 god send and they are.

They are there for the 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 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.


BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE

Title: The Prayer

I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

La luce che tu hai
nel cuore restera
a ricordarci che
eterna stella sei

Nella mia preghiera
quanta fede c'e

Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternita

La forza che ci da
We ask that life be kind
and watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
another soul to love

Let this be our prayer, just like every child
E la fede che hai acceso in noi, sento che ci salvera

The prayer

FAITH'S STRUGGLE

When trials and tribulations come our way, we sometimes feel that our faith has reached its limits and our will to overcome has been defeated. We must always keep in mind the promise of the Lord and remember that He will never give us more than we are able to bear. Encourage yourself in the Lord's promise and continually stand strong and keep in mind that God knows the limits of your spirit and will never allow a trial that you are not able to overcome and be victorious over. (1 Corinthians 10:12-13) (Psalm 91:14-16)

I hope you are blessed and encouraged by today's message to trust in theLord's provision and know that it is God who goes before you to make your crooked paths straight. (Isaiah 42:16-21)

FAITH'S STRUGGLE

Things are getting piled up,
God I'm losing sight of who you are.
I go through the motions of living,
treating each day like the one before.

Each day is a test in patience,
a testing of my strength.
How much longer will you wait, Lord?
As of right now, I feel you're late.

"All in His time," is what people say
and I know that is true;
but with the way things are going
I've lost comfort in that too.

My hope is being shattered
by the things that press me down.
And my faith has begun to waver;
so like Peter I've started to drown.

I'm sailing a sea of lonesome
to an island of despair.
My ship has started sinking;
I see lightning in the air.

As your child I'm calling out to you,
please listen to my cry.
Answer my questions of wonder;
I'll wait for your reply.

Your answers mean so much to me;
it's your will I'm striving for.
If I could only see the shore more clearly
I might find the open door.

All the doors that I've come close to
have been shut right in my face.
What does it really mean when people
talk about your mercy and grace?


They say you understand,
after all that you've been through.
Well, please then, take my hand
and show me what it is I'm supposed to do.

If I am to wait longer, then give me patience;
if I am to trust, then give me faith;
because without you right beside me
this storm cannot be faced.

And sometimes we must step
through the mist and reach for the unknown.
Then when we reach dry land, Lord,
we'll see how much we've grown.

Sometimes you require a leap of faith;
though the shoreline is not clear;
but your grace and mercy are sufficient;
there is nothing I need fear.

Your love, it knows no limits,
and no other love compares.
Draw closer to me now, God,
and wash away my tears.

For I can rest in each tomorrow
if Your love is all I know;
So in the midst of the storms of life,
Lord, hold my hand and don't let go.

Daily Blessing

If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity.
- Saint Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556)
