The Pendulum Swings..

One thing we can be sure of is, there's not much we can be sure of.  Like the seasons, people come and go. Just when you thought this;  friendship, love, pastor, church, or job was forever, the rug is pulled.  Emotions, that may have been oozing within, results in exploding;  anger ,tears and volume, resulting in a bitter conflict.

                                                       BEEN THERE DONE THAT

We seem to be happy, but the pendulum then swings to dissatisfaction, joy swings to depression, the swinging never seems to stop. It swings when the person you confided in for years, suddenly begins to reveal your hearts secrets.  Maybe times when you even hear someone say about.. you:  "Don't go to them,  one minute they listen, bite your head off the next". The pendulum swings from one extreme to the next.

"You're so predictable" does not sound so bad anymore.  In fact, I have learned that it would be an ideal principle in times of... pendulum emotions.  Consistent predictability. What if, others/we, could always be there when someone needed to listen or give good advise.  Hear that? -"You can always count on him/her".

This week (better yet today in real time) let's you and I, be challenged.  Let's be consistent with grace, or an even mindset, we might not see so many trying to manipulate the situation, keeping their distance, so as not to be scolded, hurt, dropped or embarrassed... again.

The Bible says: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself". A great relationship could soon follow.
