The World Today

In my honors history class we were to write a paper on what we thought of the world today. This is the last page of my paper:



Death may be around us a lot of the time but then there is joy in corners of ours hearts in many places. Some are happy to have a job to be alive, to be able to fulfill your dreams, have a child and hold your baby in your hands. To know that you have someone in your life who makes you happy and keeps you safe and will let you know everything will be okay is one of the greatest things. Having that knowledge of knowing that you love someone and they love you back. In these moments, once in a while life seems great and it’s what everyone wants but not what everyone gets and if they are lucky enough to receive that; then you are blessed with a most precious gift.
It’s a simple question of what I think of the world today. There is no peace no rest but every once in a while we find happiness. Sometimes god gives a miracle something to remember, things you thought impossible, possible. It gives you hope that everything isn’t so bad after all and that maybe this happen to the world for a reason, that we were cursed so we could be blessed.

I like that "we were cursed so we could be blessed". I love the fact that despite so much hurt in the world God provides us relief so opposite from the pain.

Lately I have been thinking about how people let their joys get stolen. I think I will blog about it sometime.
