HAPPY ENDINGS

Aren't these wonderful? Oh yeah, I love when this happens. I just am so thrilled with the end of some problem comes with a smile.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if life had this all the time? Only the one thing we find is that doesn't happen most of the time.

A lot of people have spent a lot of time trying to figure that part out. And naturally you have those will look at any situation and try to find the happy ending even if it isn't there.

What really weighs on a person is when somebody who isn't going through the problem wants to tell you how everything is fine. Course it doesn't really help with they don't actually have a problem for themselves.

But you can pretty much expect such types of comfort don't always end up with thanks you if you are they are trying to encourage. Instead you are more likely to be less than grateful.

The question I have is can one truly find a happy ending when the problem ended in disaster? Are there times when there wasn't meant to be a happy ending?

Whether or not that is true, there are times when the obvious is not necessarily a situation that truly ends with smiles. And from my view that is reality. I didn't say it would make us happy, only that it is part of life.

What so often is the challenge to me is being able to focus on the long term happy endings. For the believer there is the hope and comfort of knowing eternity is always a happy ending.

How said it is to me to imagine those who turned their back on the lord in this life and then have to face an eternity apart from the Lord. I can't imagine that eternal damnation has any happy endings.

Some might debate the fact that there is a hell in the first place, but that isn't the issue of this posting. What is the focus is the joy of the soul, which can find happiness beyond this world.

That is a struggle to remember at times. It can be so challenging to keep that in the mind when you are feeling so miserable.

However, there are the times when one can wait till the memory is clear and the emotions calm. Then we can find the joy of seeing more than this life if one is a believer.

Only time will ever mend what is broken in one's dreams. Sometimes that can touch in ways when nothing else does

Providing we keep focused on what really is important.
