Happy Monday! Time to share a little bit of light – a thought for the start of the week – something we can hold onto as we face whatever comes our way. SPARKS is the idea of my friend Annie from McGuffy’s Reader……Annie’s thinking is that the world can be a bit of a puzzle and challenge and sometimes a DARK place in which to move. Why not try to help by bringing a positive thought to LIGHT – something we can all perhaps “get” and feel GOOD about? If you have a thought to share, why not join in this wonderful HOP of Annie’s? Just click the badge above, go to her blog and fill in the LINKY TOOL….join in the fun.
I thought a lot this weekend about friendships. My belief has ALWAYS been – and I’ve talked about this before in another SPARKS post – that people pass through our lives for a reason. We think at the time it’s “chance” but I think it’s because we need them at that time to help us learn something, understand something, or help us through something in our lives. It’s not just random…..people enter our lives for a REASON. Even when a friendship runs its course and we part ways happily or even unhappily – we have learned something we just might carry with us forever.
Yes and I want to thank whoever is reading this post for being here……………maybe you needed to hear this today? Try to get the messages people bring to you – whether or not you understand them at the time, trust me – you will one day.
HAVE A SPARK FILLED WEEK!
Hugs, Pam

well said… and it is true… even when we sometimes need a while to find out what the reason is ;O)))

Yes it isn’t always evident at the time – then later we realize WHY we met someone and what we received from them…..and it all becomes VERY CLEAR!
Love, Pam and Teddy too ❤

I have always thought that people who join us on our journey – or cross our paths – have something to bring to our lives….some things are good and others aren’t so good but they all mean something and we can learn from them.

What a wonderful Spark! We just hope the reason is a good one.

Yes but even the “not so good” reasons someone shows up and tiptoes through our path might teach us something we need to learn….I don’t look forward to those lessons or messages but I know I get SOMETHING out of it – even if it’s just to make me more brave or more careful. Lessons come in all forms!
