The Reason
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.

Pages from a Book
I said: “Hey! Let’s go to the beach today! Since it’s all bright and sunny and warm, it’ll be a good way to relax.”
“Sure!” she said while smiling. And that smile was of the warmest kind, the kind that came straight from the heart.
And with this, we packed the necessary items, changed into our beach gear (comprising of shorts, tees, a cap and a few camping items) and hopped onto our car. We didn’t say a thing throughout or ride, all the talking was done by the DJ on the radio. But it was pleasant. I can feel it. And I’m sure she feels the same too. And you might ask, how can such a simple thing such as a drive to the beach invoke so such feelings from you? The answer is simple: Because she’s right there beside you feeling exactly the same thing. And this scene I’m describing to you… must be Heaven.
As we stepped out of the car, I grabbed our bags and we started off for the beach. And instinctively, before we knew it, we were already holding each other’s hands. We walked along the whole length of the beach; the sun on our skin, the sand at our feet and our hands… feeling the touch of the other. Simple pleasures of a simple life. When we got tired, we rested. When we got bored, we walked again. And when we started to talk, we couldn’t stop. The topics kept coming and the words kept flowing. And the whole day just passed; and we apply the cliché line of how time flies when you’re having fun. By the time we realised, it was already late into the night. And so we made a decision: Why not just stay one night on the beach? The sky was clear, the wind was cool and the sound of the waves was a lullaby that guided us off to sleep. So there we were, on that beach chair of a café that had closed earlier, holding each other and in this warm embrace, drifted off to a place that mattered only to the both of us.
