Fruit of the Spirit - Peace 3

Why must all stories end happily ever after?  Truly that drives me insane.

Today, Ms. Manning blessed her readers with another short story: Baby Isaac.  Of course there were two main characters that lacked peace, and they live through very traumatic events.  However, at the end of the story, everyone is happy and peaceful.

Maybe it just seems like the thing to do, that is: they lived happily ever after.  But truly the story shouldn't end like that.  The story should have ended a paragraph prior.  Then the reader could infer or make the decision on his/her own as to the ending.  Not all stories have to end either; my story is constant.

A dear friend of mine, Holly, writes a blog called: Possibilities and Peas.  Her latest post Possibilities and Abundance really touched me.  It was so honest and straight forward; no pretentiousness about it. 

Finding peace in our lives is truly a wonderful gift we can receive from God.  Waking up from the fog, the darkness of a dreamlike state; no longer wishing for more, but rather being content with what you have.

Thank you, Holly.
