I confess: I love happy endings. I like romantic movies and romance novels. I want the nice guy to finish first, the mean girl to get what's coming to her, and everyone to live happily ever after.
Unfortunately, life doesn't usually mimic a romantic comedy. People seldom get what they deserve. Bad things happen to good people, good things happen to bad people, and the rest of us get a mixed bag of good stuff and bad stuff.
Thankfully, because we know Christ, we do get our happily ever after. So even when things on Earth are a bit stinky, it brings me joy to think that our time here is but a small part of eternity.
And really, when you think about it that way, how much does most of this stuff really matter? The bigger question is: what am I doing that has eternal consequences? Not nearly enough.
