What are you expecting? My expectations are often outsized. I expect way too much from myself and way too little of others. Or, is it the other way around? Often we can't even understand our expectations because we get them mixed up with nostalgic desires for some one experience that will make everything right again. We hope, we pray, we long for something that will restore joy, peace and power in our lives. But nothing seems to fully satisfy. And so we get busy doing a million little things in the hope that we will finally find something... anything... to put our hope in. That's why I love Advent. In the middle of the commercial ramp up to gift-giving-palooza... that holiday of holidays where everything is supposed to make us feel good if we just get the formula right... we are told to change our expectations. One Advent Expectation leads us to the One Gift: Jesus.
