Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6
My good friend looked at the little wooden sign sitting in my living room. And they lived happily ever after.
“Well,” she said, “I guess that was a lie.”
I was taken aback. “It’s not a lie,” I said.
“Seriously, Milinda, you call this happily ever after?”
Perhaps, I am naïve.
I do understand her point. We are at a place in our lives when our children have just left our safe nest, our parents are ageing, and so are we. Life is not easy. Tragedy befalls us.
But that doesn’t stop me from believing that I am living happily ever after. God never promised things would be easy. God promised he would hold my hand through my journey. And that gives me joy. That’s my happily ever after.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22
