Expectations
Are expectations a good thing or bad thing? We state that we have high expectations for someone. We offer friendship with no expectations. We ask people to commit to things that have certain expectations. A movie doesn't live up to our expectations. A person shows us kindness or forgiveness beyond our expectations. We have lots of expectations in life. Some big, some trivial. But which side of the fence do you land on? Should we have expectations or not? Is it good or bad to have expectations? I want to hear your voice. Let me know what you think.

How boring would life be if we never had expectations, faulty & lofted as they may be sometimes. Maybe "expections with humility" is a better approach - coming at things with genuine anticipation, but not allowing ourselves to be crushed if they don't happen.
I think it is the same as setting goals - we hardly ever reach all of them, but that isn't the point. The point is that if we set them we'll surpass what we would have done without setting them.
If we live lives of expectation, as long as our trust is in God and not in man, what a life we can live and what joys we can experience that may have never been experienced otherwise.
