What looks good on the menu does not necessarily taste good on the plate. Unfulfilled promises, built up expectations, and just everyday reality can suppress our joy if we let them. It is wise to nurture realistic expectations and not put too much hope in things that often change with time. Our strength will eventually wane away. Health will eventually let us down. Even so, we can hope in God’s unchanging love and gratefully accept His timetable for all things temporal.
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Ps.73 Conversations Within” ts 9/26/2016
