ANTICIPATIONS

Anticipation is my learning. Each day is anticipating the next, when filled with blessings, even one that might be full of tribulations. Anticipation is each waking time, looking forward to something good that’s sure to come; to the good in me that is waiting to come forth; even the unexpected good from unexpected visitors who might be angels coming to us unawares.

Anticipation is my learning. It is the opposite of anxiety. Anticipation casts its hopeful eyes toward joy; anxiety, towards gloom.

Finding a home on earth is anticipating a far better one beyond. Finding love on earth is anticipating a greater one. Warm relationships anticipate a never-ending communion of pure and holy love which is to come. Only in anticipating can one start truly living.

Icons are anticipations. They’re windows of what awaits our many struggles and daily attempt to live as if we are already living in the heavenly mansion we are anticipating; the sanctuary and font of All-Good.

Anticipation is waiting transformed!
