It seems to me that a lot of one’s issues with disappointment or unhappiness are the direct result of her own expectations. If we expect life to be perfect and easy, then we are going to be disappointed, hurt, angry, and unhappy regularly. If we expect life to be fraught with challenges and obstacles, we learn to guard our hearts, set appropriate boundaries, and make better choices. We need to gird ourselves for the realities of life. Christianity provides one the way to do that without constructing walls around ourselves that isolate us from one another. I am so grateful for Christ’s presence in my life!
Thank you, Victoria, for this little whimsical photo that you shared and for your example. See you soon.
