Happy ever after?

As I walked out of the movies I began to think about happy endings. Everyone craves a happy ending no matter how different they all look.
"The gray" is a suspenseful movie and It kept us all on the edge of our seats and some such as myself covering our eyes. If you haven't seen it I'm sorry but the ending was horrible. What I mean by that is the fact that we all want a hero, a completion to a story, a life saved, a love rejuvenated, or a lost rescued. In reality life isn't as simple, it isn't always happy. Not to burst bubbles here but the happy ending we all want takes work. The guys in the movie had to put all their differences a side to fight to survive. They had to learn to work together and find something worth living for.
After the movie the lady sitting next to me looked at me and said "all that for nothing?" She was upset as almost all of us were that the movie didn't end with music and Dancing that lives were saved.


There is a reason most all kid movies have a happy ending. We strive to show kids a fairy tale in order to boost their ambitions, to give them hope. Even when we think we are all grown up that kid inside us all wants the happy ending. Yet it is how we work toward it, how we strive to be happy and how dedicated we are yet realistic.

Let's not live life and at the end tell ourself "all that for nothing?" Strive to love, strive to be happy and strive to have a happy ending. Let us come together as a body of Christ and lean on each other to survive.
