There is an email going around that I like and wanted to share with you. I believe that it particularly applies to Single Parents because we live this. People come in and out of our life as we go through our journey. As we go through Divorce a lot of Single Parents experience the loss of friends and couples that they used to hang out with. As we had discussed previously, it is important to not just go through the changes that occur when we go through challenges, but to look back and learn from them so they where not in vain and we do not repeat the same actions. This same idea pertains to our ex partner and what had occurred to trigger the events that cause the separation from each other. The same applies for all people who enter our lives and make some type of impact upon us and allow us the opportunity to grow as a result. So please enjoy the following:
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.
So say thank you for being a part of my life,
Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
Until next time, remember - you are the best parent you can be in this moment!
With Love, Peace and Power,

Ron,
That was very inspirational and very true. I believe it applies to everyone in life, in addition to single parents. I am a single parent so I can definitely relate. Thank you so much for sharing.
