This quote is AMAZING! We discussed this and another quote from C.S. Lewis for our family home evening on Monday and it was definitely what I needed to hear! It applied so much to many of the things that have been on my mind lately!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
"…Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on: you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently he starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of — throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself."
Not just a palace though, a temple!
I put Maisey to bed last night, and a few minutes later I could hear her in her room crying. So I went back in and asked what was wrong and she said between sobs, "I just miss Sharon!" It was so sad, but cute! :) hope you guys are doing well. We miss you.
