Each Day Begin Again

I find C. S. Lewis’ wisdom immensely encouraging. If a spiritual giant such as Lewis had to begin again each day at the beginning with his faith, it seems reasonable for me to have to not only begin all over each day with relying on God, but sometimes several times a day I begin again. As a human on earth I will not ever ‘arrive’ at perfect faith.

The relying is a daily and moment by moment thi

This is the best book I have ever read, and re-read, and re-read again. It tells of a way of life past, but of the goodness and badness in man still yet today. Each time I read it, I smile, I cry, I give thanks for Harper Lee.

“We carry on. We have ourselves and we carry on- in spite of our losses and mistakes and women, I think, have more than most. We are good secret-keepers. We can tie weights to out guilt and passions, and hatred and deceitfulness, and let them sink down, so that you'd never know they existed at all. But we know. I can count all mine.”
Susan Fletcher

“Gratitude isn't a tool to manipulate the universe or God. It's a way to acknowledge our faith that everything happens for a reason even if we don't know what that reason is. ~Melody Beattie, 52 Weeks of Conscious Contact, pg. 34.”
Melody Beattie, 52 Weeks of Conscious Contact: Meditations for Connecting with God, Self, and Others

“All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right-about-face which turns us from failure towards success.”
Dorothea Brande, Becoming a Writer
