This is an excerpt from one of C.S. Lewis's addresses called "the weight of glory", It is fantastic, talking about so many of the things that we all face in our day to day lives, so as you can imagine, this is just a sliver of the brilliance of this address. If you ever get the chance to read the whole thing, please do."Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infiite joy is offered us. Like an ignorant child wo wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imgine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far to easily pleased." -C.S. Lewis, the weight of glory
This is definitley something that i struggle with. wanting what i think is great, not thinking that God has something better for me, which he does. Anyway, its good food for thought!
kick back and let him take you on a ride, no matter how many ups and downs there may be.
Love Love Love.

you know, it's almost like peace, to understand that nothing here is eternal. And to know that, that nothing down here is worth our time, but with our eyes always heaven-bent, that is peace. How could it not be? To know that we're going somewhere better, no matter what happens to us, no matter what we lose, we are going to God.
So Maddison, all the quotes you have put on here are full of wisdom and brilliance, but it's YOUR blog. Write something yourself! I know you've got the wisdom and brilliance to write something just a wholly good.
