"The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder." - G.K. Chesterton
 
We all need to be reminded.  We can't manufacture our own wonder.  Sure, we can prime the pump to set our hearts in the right direction to receive.  But if we're looking for Christmas to be one or two specific things this year - if we're expecting something particular to happen in the next few days - and if it doesn't happen, we're going to be extremely disappointed, then we've set ourselves up.  There is a difference between expectancy and expectations.  
 
As we walk through the threshold from Advent to Christmas, today's Table encourages us to relax, put down our expectations, and follow the bliss of what is about to unfold. We can't plan surprise for yourself.  We will miss the bliss if we seek to control the bliss.  The surprise we need and where to find it will come only from the One whose birthday it is!  Follow the bliss!
