Lent

[dreamflower]

C.S. Lewis in Perelandra:

"He has no need at all of anything that is made. An eldil is not more needful to Him than a grain of dust: a peopled world no more needful than a world that is empty: but all needless alike, and what all add to Him is nothing. We also have no need of anything that is made. Love me, my brothers, for I am infinitely superfluous, and your love shall be like His, born neither of your need nor of my deserving, but a plain bounty. Blessed be He!"

I love that book so so much!

So do I. It was Perelandra that tipped me over the edge from seeker to believer, just as it was LotR that made me a seeker...

I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you I've really been enjoying your Lent posts. Sometimes your choice of the day makes my blood boil and sometimes it really resonates with me, but it's been very a valuable experience to look at them every day. Thank you!

I am glad to know you are looking at them. I'm trying to share things I find meaningful, and am very glad that at least some of them *do* resonate with you.

It's been very rewarding and challenging to find something to post each day. But I think it is more positive than "giving up" something for Lent.
