Divorced Catholic Moms – This Week’s Quote

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, 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

It’s difficult to trust God enough to accept that what He has in store for us is far better than anything we can bring into our lives ourselves or better than anything we can even imagine.  If only we could trust Him enough to give him the gift of our free will and follow Him….I believe that amazing lives (and eternities) await those who do.  I, for one, want to stop settling for “mud pies in a slum.”  I pray that one day soon I’ll be able to truly give up my will to God and follow Him.  Not an easy thing to do even when you believe it’s the best thing you could possibly do.  Sigh…we’re silly creatures.
