For a Season and a Reason

That's what my mom, my friends, and good ol' Madea said people are here for. People are here for a season and for a reason.

I like that phrase, but I think I like the tree metaphor better. People in your life are leaves, branches, or roots.

Leaves are only around for a season. They change when the weather changes.
Branches seem pretty solid. Some branches are strong enough to support you. But be careful because if you step on the wrong branch, it might break right from under you and you never saw it coming.
Roots are the life of the tree. Without the roots, nothing else could grow.

I'm thankful for the roots God has placed in my life, but I feel like I have room for a couple more. I'm excited to see who God brings into my life next. Maybe they can become a root. At the same time, I hate saying goodbye and letting people go. But that is inevitable because not everyone that enters your life is meant to stay in it (Sad Truth #1). I'm not so good at everything emotional; although, my friends and family will beg to differ. Ugh...I'm actually going to miss you even though you got on my everlasting nerve...lol.
