The sound of disappointment...

Disappointment makes you want to give up...
when things go wrong and out lives are impacted by difficulty and pain....
when we don't get what we wanted or what we expected...
when people break their promises and let us down...
when we cant even live up to our own expectations........we get disappointed!


Which reminds me of a song....

Here comes that sinking feeling

Nobody hurts me like you do.

You cut into me like a poison dart.

Creep into my sleep at night.

Break into my dreams and tear them

apart.

Here comes that sinking feeling.

Have you ever felt the sound of

disappointment?

It pounds in your head like hammer

blows.

Comes on gentle and smiling.

And it likes to leave a scar before it goes.

here comes that sinking feeling.... 

Lennox/Stewart (the Eurythmics)

So how can we overcome that sinking feeling?


When our hopes and dreams are fully anchored in a confident expectation of good things from the hand of God we have the perfect antidote for the disappointment of the past and the fear of the future.

Where have you anchored your hopes and dreams?
