SWINGING

Our emotions are forever on the move,
up and down, low and lower, high and higher. 
We do not always have reasons. 
We may experience changes in our mood. 
They will swing from sorrow to joy,
excitement to depression, and
anxiety to harmony. 
Others are left wondering what is happening. 
What is it that triggers such deviations? 
Could it be something that was said,
a disappointment, some sad news or
a disappointing event? 
Many things can cause these swings. 
Do we have control of the triggers or
do they just happen?  Is it us or
something that happens to us? 
What do we do about it? 
This emotional life is not
the same as our spiritual life,
where we realize that we are in
the hands or the Spirit of God,
Who is within us.  We are His children,
whatever our moods may be. 
Nothing can change this so
we should try to connect to
our spiritual side when
we feel our emotions are changing. 
That is where He wants us and
where our vagaries will be sorted out. 
We are not judged, but loved and
may continuing  our swinging,
while knowing that we do have an Anchor.
