I was bopping along to the radio this morning when God decided to hit my upside the head again, and He does it in such unique ways and with tools you would never have thought could be turned to that use. Check this song out, blast from the past!
Why should it be that we can’t get along? We all put our pants on the same way, bleed the same color, and for the most part, believe in the same God – what else is there? We are to be the example to others, and leave the judging up to the ultimate and final One.
Everybody needs a friend, needs to know that they matter to someone.
I know that I never think of Him that way, but the best friend we’ve got?
Is it so hard to reach out? What do we do when we need someone? We ALL need to reach out from time to time and know that someone is there to catch us and help us to the next step. (ok, for this one, there are so many songs that come into play!)
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 may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
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.
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.
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. (unknown)
Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
(It was rather loud in my head this morning with all this music running around!)
