Wednesday's Woe - What Happened to 'Happily Ever After'?







Wednesday's Woe


What Happened to 

'Happily Ever After'?








My fairy-tale world has been splattered ~
A mother and father raising their children
With God's help was all that really mattered

We will see her again, with You,
And our world will not be forever blue

Your death, resurrection, and ascension proved
You made a way for us 
Someday

To live truly... 
Happily ever after!



No matter how bad things get here,
Our Heavenly Father will always draw near
He cares enough for us
To capture our every

You keep track of all my sorrows. 
You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. 
You have recorded each one in Your book.
