Happily Ever After

Once upon a time…..

The End….

And somewhere in there is a Happily Ever After?

Well, if our life was that uneventful… what would we say or feel each day? But, isn’t that what we want? To live life on our terms? Our prayers to Papa what do they sound like? I have asked for boring...long enough to catch my breath.

I have heard many say, me included, if I could just live on the mountain top with Jesus… always. But then how would I learn? If I was happy and never encountering any sorrow, how would I appreciate the happy?

I heard the words so many years ago; I would never have children. I lived with that heartache as a barren woman. So you must know that when I learned I was pregnant, my joy was beyond the mountain top. My children are more than precious to me; they are God’s greatest gifts.

Life on the mountain top…

Walk on the shores of the beach; maybe, just maybe touch our toes to the water—Afraid to go into the waters? Deep into the waters where we can immerse ourselves in the warm water and let the Sun beat down on us --warming everything within us. The contrast…is ecstasy-- If we choose.

Life on the mountain top…

We walk out of Church. It was a heavenly worship. We feel good. Never let this feeling end. Someone cuts us off in traffic and we are back in the Valley.

Life is a series of Mountain Top moments and Valley experiences.

One thing I have learned, I learn more in the Valley and I am healed on the Mountain top—where my Jesus is with me --in both places.

Always

And this is where our Happy Ever After awaits us.
