I believe in a happy ending, but I ask my share of questions that begin with, “When . . . ?”\u00a0 (to say nothing of all the “Why?” questions I could tell you about)<\/p>\n
Life has a lot of tough questions, so what about the ones with missing answers and the ones with “wrong” answers?\u00a0 (and there’s another question)<\/p>\n
First, I can’t make a happy ending happen.<\/p>\n
Second, maybe my<\/span> happiness is not the goal.\u00a0 (I didn’t just write that, did I ?)<\/p>\n Third, I hate it when preachers and writers [me too] sound like they’re going to answer life’s impossible questions—and then after thirty minutes or thirty pages you can’t remember what they said at the beginning.<\/p>\n Fourth, maybe others’ happiness is my goal.\u00a0 (I didn’t write that either, did I ?\u00a0 I’ll tell you one thing for sure, that was not my idea.)\u00a0 Does happiness happen only when you make others happy, and you forget about pursuing your own?<\/p>\n There’s a lot in the Good Book that says so.<\/p>\n And check out the shortest bottom line on this website—the “UNDERSTATEMENT OF ALL ETERNITY” (11-24-12)—for Christ followers—<\/p>\n WE END ON A POSITIVE NOTE !<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I believe in a happy ending, but I ask my share of questions that begin with, “When . . . ?”\u00a0 (to say nothing of all the “Why?” questions I could tell you about) Life has a lot of tough questions, so what about the ones with missing answers and the ones with “wrong” answers?\u00a0 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faith_based","category-inspire_lifter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1712"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1712"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1922,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1712\/revisions\/1922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
