Brene Brown in Rising strong; "Disappointment is unmet expectations
and the more significant the expectations, the more significant the
disappointment.' Many did not find Joy in the babe in Bethlehem,
only disappointment because their expectations did not match
the new thing God was doing.
In Decembers Readers Digest a seven-year-old gives her father a
list of her Christmas expectations and he replied. Here is part of
the list Daughters list“Black, light blue, green, purple, and pink
North Faces.” The Fathers response= Five North Face jackets at
100 bucks each? Dream smaller. That is apparel meant for
serious outdoorsmen who dangle from belayed ropes on the
south face of K2. The outdoorsiest we get is when we roll down
the window at Wendy’s drive-through.
The Shepherds in Bethlehem found great joy because they received what
God gave. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good
news that will cause great joy for all the people. Luke 2:10 Today, choose
joy by receiving what God gives, gratefully.
