So, let me answer a question by making it an open lesson.
Freely I have learnt, freely I share.
Don't make permanent plans with temporary people.
There are friendships/Spouses for various seasons in life.
As my Aunt taught me,
Spouse for the morning. These are friends or Spouses for the start off seasons of your life. They are those who know u when u are starting off.
Spouse for the afternoon. These are limited friends or Spouses who stand by when things are bright. They are your friends as long as the shine is on, the money is in the pocket, things are up for u. As long as u make it, they are there with u. At this time, your morning friends have reduced.
Spouse for the night. These are friends and Spouses who stay all the way. They may not even know u in the morning or afternoon, they may come late into your life, they may as well have known u always, but they are all weather friends and Spouses. Always there either u fail or succeed. They lift u when u fall. They pull u when u over-speed.
From these explanations, u must notice that, a Spouse or friend may not fit in when u fall, they want u to always stand. When u mess up, they leave u.
Some also, may stand with u through struggles, but they can't fit in when u succeed. They ain't made for soft and prosperous days, but for struggling days alone.
Your real friends and Spouses are there, either u fall or stand, sick or healthy.....always there.
After a recent major life's test, I discovered my true friends. My friendship list thinned down so drastically to, just a few. My family and relatives became an immovable rock!
Your family, a good family and relatives, are your best rock! A bad family will deny u, a good one will stand up strong for u, come rain or shine!
My long friendship list thinned down to just a few.
Meanwhile, one of them has been my friend for nearly 30 years now. The days when neither he nor I were anything. Did we even know where we were going? Abi Mr. T?
While, I lost none of my family and relatives. None!!!
So, I hope I have explained what I mean, when I say, DON'T MAKE PERMANENT PLANS WITH TEMPORARY MorounKunbi Merriman-Johnson-Johnson
Find your real friends, they ain't fair-weather friends. They are all-weather friends! But u may not find them until u have hit your lowest grounds!
