"...If happy ever after did exist,
I would still be holding you like this..."
Payphone- Maroon 5
I know this song has been played to death on the radio in the last couple of months but everytime it comes on my husband and I sing along, especially loud, on this part cos it reminds us of our 'Jubes.' As my husband so often says, with his eyes tilted towards heaven, "Love ya Jubes!"
I also like the other line that leads into the chorus that says "....even the sun sets in paradise." Our lives sometimes seem less than perfect- we just have to admit that we live in a fallen world and no one, no matter how religious or loving or seemingly perfect, is exempt from bad things happening to them. As soon as we realise this, we can accept our misfortunes for what they are and put the "why mes?" behind us. We can stop dwelling on the bad, our perspective changes, and we can start living with hope and faith in what a new sun rise will bring; jubilee, rejoicing, joy and celebration. So love that our daugthers name means that!
For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favour lasts a lifetime;
weeping may
remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Psalm 30:5
