Ups and Downs

Life has a lot of them, right? Ups and downs, I mean. My father used to say, “If it’s not one thing, it’s another.” So true. Being emotionally healthy requires that we accept the ups and downs of life and see our role in some of them. Of course, we are able, with God’s grace, to level some of those highs and lows out. Some we cannot, and must ask God how He wants us to handle them and what we are to learn from them.
