"Indeed if we consider the unblushing promise 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 like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."
C.S. Lewis
I invite you to take some time today and sit with this quote. Where are the places in your life where you have become content playing with mud pies because you are unable to imagine the ocean that awaits you? What have you settled for?
Tomorrow I will share some of my mud pies.
Grace and Peace,
Deb

Dear Deb,
Thank you for directing me to your blog. I can read your posts and get to know you and your passion for our Lord. I think the ladies of our church would greatly benefit from a retreat with you. I'll be talking to you soon! Your sister in Christ,
