In physical therapy I suspect specific expectations are set after a clear understanding is established between therapist and patient. Then the plan is implemented as the hard work to recovery begins. In 52 years of marriage, I have been disappointed from time to time. And when I have the courage to voice my disappointment my wife is genuinely surprised and reminds me that she cannot read my mind. She is right. Clear communication is always the key. That also takes courage and vulnerability. Relationships have so much to teach if we are willing to learn…
I can't help but think of some of my Littles. Time to go outside! Everyone is lined up but one. She wants to tie her own shoe! Screams if I try to help. I have to be patient until she is willing to accept the help she so clearly needs.
I think that we all do this to God all the time. I am grateful for His patience.
I resonate with this impatience Julie! I wonder if some of it is actually fueled by a belief that we have to take care of everything ourselves? That was me on Sunday. Ugh!😣
Kym! This resonates..."a belief that we have to take care of everything ourselves?" YES! Where does this belief come from. I've got it too. GRR. I hope your knee discomfort is softening.
Yes, expectations
Create much disappointment
Unless there’s a plan….
