When the wind blows

One of the comments that was posted for "selfish lovers" had this quote "Truth be told we need these kind of people in our life to make us stronger. Iron sharpens iron and men sharpen men. We have to have patient endurance and wait on God to send the wind that is going to blow those needy people out of our path." I thought this was quite ironic because I just finished reading Tyler Perry's new book Madea's commentaries Don't Make A Black woman take off her earrings, where Madea uses the same analogy. Madea says that some people come in your life for seasons and some for a lifetime. Some people are like the leaves on a tree; when their season is over they wither and die and blow away. What I've learned from reading the comments and as funny as it sounds from Madea is that everyone who comes into our lives God brings them for a reason and until they have served their purpose (until we have learned a lesson from them or taught them something) we need to endure the message that God is trying to give us. So until God blows the dead leaves we must take in the beauty that comes with the Fall.
