Fairy Tales

I awoke this morning with a familiar song playing through my mind. It brought peace and was a wonderful reminder that there is more yet to come for me and to anyone who believes:
...Have faith in your dreams and someday
your rainbow will come shining through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing,
the dream that you wish will come true.
~Cinderella~
I realize that it comes from a fairy tale/Disney movie, but it still speaks to my heart. I still believe in fairy tales. I hope I believe in them until the day I take my last breath. Fairy tales can come true. But there are important things to remember: most fairy tales do not turn out as expected. Their happy endings do not just happen, the heroes and heroines must prove they are worthy of their "happily ever after". They must endure trials, hardship and many times isolation. Great growth can occur if their faith is sure and steady. They must endure to achieve, persevere to profit.
As many adversities appear on my path, I will cling to these words. I know that my "happily ever after" is coming. I may not have the opportunity to appreciate it while I inhabit the earth, but someday I will enjoy my eternal happy ending.

as far as love goes...i read in a book a rather good quote that made me stop and think for a moment or two. "Every love story has an unhappy ending, sooner or later" What's funny is that this quote comes from the book titled True Love (it's very good, I like it) And for those who do not believe in Jesus, this quote is true. Every marriage or relationship ends at some point whether it's because there was a break-up/divorce or someone dies, and it's bound to happen. Except for one love story- the love between God and us. Which makes it the only real love story truly worth having.
