God sends people into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When God sends that special someone in your life for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have. They come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with encouragement, guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They are there for the reason you need them to be.
God sends some people into our lives for a season. These friends usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy for a time, but due to circumstances, our lives move on, and our friendships aren't as close as they once were. But during this season of our lives, God knew that these friends were just what we needed!
Then God gives us those lifetime relationships - those solid, dependable, loving relationships that we have though the years. Sometimes we are close and get together often...other lifetime relationships are "long-distance" but still just as strong.
God knows just what we need in friendships...and when we need that special friend.
I'm so thankful for the wonderful friends I have - and for each and every one of them!
Here are three of my friends when we got together just before Christmas for our annual Christmas celebration. Two are from the Grand Rapids area, and Beckie lives right here in Manton!
