It is said that people come
into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Those that come for an
explicit purpose leave their mark, often in the most subtle of ways, and move on
to the next life they are meant to affect. Those that come for a specific
time frame, change our course, reroute our thoughts and quite possibly put us
back on track to the path we were meant to follow. Then there are those linger and eventually stay to become a
permanent and integral part of our story. These are people we must cherish - those that never judge,
never doubt, and never stop believing. They lift you up when you are
down, share your load when you can’t and offer a hand when you are in
need.
Life is a series of constantly
moving parts and pieces. The people we encounter along the way are part of the
puzzle that make the picture complete. What’s important to recognize is that
not everyone we meet has the same relevance in our lives. Some will float in for a reason and leave us
in a newly enlightened place. We must let these individuals come and go. Some will appear for a season and be remembered
for the gifts they bring. We must appreciate these individuals but be prepared to say adieu. But for those that “stick”, pay close attention to what they offer. These
are the priceless gems to hang on to - for it is these individuals that make a life complete.
