A Liturgy for Unmet Expectations by Liturgies for a Life Abroad

I wish I could say I’ve accepted all of this with grace and strength, and in some ways I surprised myself with that response, but not with everything. Thanksgiving Day was especially hard. It was the first of the significant unmet expectations in this season and the day passed by feeling very much like any other day caring for Mummy ji. I ended the day in tears. The next day as I was scrolling Instagram, I happened upon a liturgy from the pen of Liturgies for a Life Abroad that spoke to me. It spoke to me so deeply (especially paragraph 5) that I want to repost it here to remember and come back to as I’m sure there will be many more unmet expectations in the future. And maybe you need it in this season (or a future one), too.
