Nov 8, 2007 4:42 PM "PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their comments.Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you. Here goes:
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 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.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
Hey REv! I can hardly believe this is all happening now. Our Open House is today. I'm a bit nervous about how many people will express interest. Fingers crossed. Thanks for all your help!
Hey Rev. Is that your book I see on your profile. Long time no chat. How is all out your way. Pheww its hot here. First summer in Memphis, but still loving it. Now without further ado...a stupid comment
Hello John, I hope you start up time is going well. I'm great, my wife just gave birth to our second child last week so I am trying to get as much sleep as possible!
I want to invite you and all your friends to climb, walk, hike, ride, or run up any hill, mountain, rock, staircase, or wall of your choice on September 22 or 23, 2007 to raise funds and awareness for children with AIDS.
Each of us can make a huge differnce and can give hope and life to someone. PLEASE help the little ones and join us by registering at www.ClimbUpSoKidsCanGrowUp.com
Hey Rev. I've got a new computer and I am trying to make the rounds. How's everything for you? I joined a UU book club and thought maybe I would suggest your book. Sounds interesting and inspiring.
The Family to the Community is like a Cell to the Body. If there is not enough Good Cells,..the Body Dies. If there is not enough Good Families, the Community Dies. If there are not enough Good Men,..the Women remain LoveLess. If there are not enough Good Women,..the Men remain HopeLess. SO, without HOPE and without LOVE,..there is no Real Life. There will be no Real Life in Our Community until there is a RE-UNION of the ORIGINAL MAN and the ORIGINAL WOMAN. RESPECT is the KEY,..PEACE is the WAY and LOVE is the DIVINE REWARD,...in this LIFE and the NEXT.
Stay BLESSED and Stay with the BEST.
Hey Rev. John, I didn't get to tell ya yesterday how much I enjoyed your sermon. It both struck a familiar chord cause...well, you know why...AND it made me think about some stuff, so thanks. :-)
2007!!!!Children's School sits under Coal Treatment Plant, What would Jesus do ?
Marsh Fork Elementary School in WV, sits just 225 feet from a coal loading silo that releases chemical-laden coal dust and 400 yards from a 385 foot tall leaking sludge dam with a nearly 3 billion gallon capacity. An independent study has shown the school to be full of coal dust.
If you have never heard of Marsh Fork Elementary School in WV, watch this. Ed Wiley, grandfather to a pupil,(she has since graduated), talks about the need to build a new school.Last year Ed walked from WV to Washington DC, to raise awareness about the issue.
