The holidays are often a time of great expectations. Hope filled or drudging, the problem with expectations is they decided in advance what might or should happen. But these is a problem with expectations. William Shakespeare wrote, “Expectation is the root of all heartache.” “To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life, and this is a softness that ends in bitterness,” said Flannery O’Connor. Of course the book Great Expectations, by Charles Dicken is tale about one expectation after another causing problems. This year as I go into the holiday season beginning with Thanksgiving, I am going to release my expectations. My aim is to be present for what God may bring so that I may celebrate every moment with Him and my family.
