【推荐1】It was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale _________ my little girl. She sat next to me with her _________ 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.” I could see the _________ on her face and I never expected it to end. Suddenly I _________ that the ending of the tale was what I wanted for her. I _________ her to “live happily ever after.”

Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn’t always be true. I knew that there would be times when her _________ was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried and I couldn’t _________ her. I knew there would be times when all she _________ 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 _________ in her life more often than not. Living __________ ever after, though, seemed out of the question.

It took me a lot of years to realize that it is __________ to live happily ever after. You just have to do it “one day at a time.” Happiness you see isn’t some __________ that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn’t something that depends on what life hands you. Happiness is something you __________ in your life day by day.

The truth is that happiness comes when you choose love. Love is a gift from God. It is love __________ defeats fear. It is love that reduces sorrow. It is love that brings light to darkness. It is love that __________ us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time.”
