There's A Hole In My Sidewalk
I walk down a street and there's
a big hole.
I don't see it and fall into it.
It's dark and hopeless and it
takes me a long time to find my way out.
It's not my fault!
I walk down the same street.
There's a big hole and I can
see it, but I still fall in.
It's dark and hopeless and it
takes me a long time to get out.
It's still not my fault!!
I walk down a street.
There'sa big hole. I can see it,
but I still fall in.
It's become a habit.
But I keep my eyes open and
get out immediately.
It is my fault!!!
I walk down a street.
There's a big hole. And
I walk around it!!!!
I walk down a different street!!!!!

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON
People come into your life for a reason,
a season or a lifetime.
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.
