A Happy Ending

About a month ago, a popular T.V. show ended its sixth season with a very UNhappy ending.  Facebook was full of posts about the ending to this T.V. show and so I decided to access my DVR and watch it so I could be "in the loop".  I was shocked, saddened and angry at the writers of this show.  I don't know why I was so shocked.  It seems like its becoming more and more popular to end T.V. shows and movies with endings that are definitely not happy.  The writers of T.V. shows and movies may feel like there are not always happy endings in real life, so why should there always be happy endings in screen life?  I get it!  Life is definitely not always happy...people get sick and die (even children), divorced, raped, shot in malls, movie theatres and schools, cheated on and robbed.  People suffer from mental illness, hunger, and many, many different kinds of diseases.  There are hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires and other natural disasters.  I could go on and on...life is definitely not always happy!  However, there is always a happy ending...there is a savior who died for our sins so we can have eternal life and it doesn't get any happier than that (For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~John 3:16).  If you are a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, no matter how unhappy things in this life become, you WILL have a happy ending.  In the mean time, this life will be unhappy and painful, but take comfort in the fact that God is writing your story and it will have a happy ending!
