Echinacea... and Expectations

Are you wondering what on earth echinacea has to do with expectations?!!!
    Well, actually not too much, except that this year
 my echinacea plant is blooming far beyond my expectations!

Actually, I have a confession to make about expectations.
I have a very difficult time defining the fine line between
lowering my expectations so I won't be disappointed,
and raising my expectations so that I might encourage
someone to be (or do) their very best.

No matter which of these I do,
people will often disappoint me,
and not live up to my expectations.

There is only ONE who can meet all my expectations,
and that is God!

"When You came down long ago,
You did awesome deeds
beyond our highest expectations...
For since the world began,
 no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like You,
who works for those who wait for Him!"
Isaiah 64:3-4
