The sun is setting on the last day in March of 2026. What will April of 2026 bring? Warmer weather, longer days, travels to visit loved ones… But the best thing that April brings this year is that glorious day when we cry out to one another “He is risen!” “He is risen indeed!” I cannot fathom where I would be without knowing Christ as risen Lord. I cannot.
Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world: It is not he who prays most or fasts most, it is not he who gives most alms or is most eminent for temperance, chastity or justice, but it is he who is always thankful to God, who wills everything that God wills, who receives everything as an instance of God’s goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for it.
William Law
I am not there yet, but it is something to strive for, isn’t it?
Our contentment does not consist in getting the thing we desire, but in God’s fashioning our spirits to our conditions.
Jeremiah Burroughs
Don’t you think that Jeremiah B. and William L. are probably having a good chat right now in heaven?
It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. 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
You knew it was time to roll out some C. S. Lewis again, right? Read that quote a few times and ask yourself if you’ve just been playing at making mud pies when you could be on holiday at the sea. INFINITE JOY.
If my life is fruitless,
it doesn’t matter who praises me.
And if it’s fruitful,
it doesn’t matter who criticizes me.
John Bunyan
I am far too concerned with what other people think of me, than I am concerned with whether or not my life is bearing fruit.
There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship
than a mutual taste in literature.
P.G. Wodehouse
So, have you read Wooster and Jeeves? If so, we might have a foundation for a beautiful friendship.
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid.
I’ll use this post for making mud pies in the morning.
