Yesterday while reading a book on classical devotional material I ran into a quote from C.S. Lewis that I though I might share.
Speaking about developing a spiritual life Lewis says: "...the real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to tat other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in our of the wind."
As I continue to get ready for Spain, walking, planning, packing, ETC. I want to remember shove back at the fussing to enjoy the grace of God.
