阅读理解
It was many years ago. I was a young
dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next
to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I
finished with those famous words: "And they lived happily ever after."
As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could
see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then it dawned on me
that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to "live
happily ever after".
Still, deep in my heart I knew that
this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was
broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldn't
comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness,
sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those
times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than
not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.
It takes me a lot of years to realize
that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it "one
day at a time". Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the
end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you
own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by
day.
The truth is happiness comes when you
love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love
that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to "live happily
ever after, one day at a time".
