“Joy is distinct not only from pleasure in general but even from aesthetic pleasure. It must have the stab, the pang, the inconsolable longing.” –C.S. Lewis
Happiness is often a momentary sensation resulting from material or physical pleasure. Joy runs deep, and brings a peaceful calm, the fruit of a sincere friendship with Jesus,…yet the obstacles and difficulties in life still remain.
God bless,

“Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself.” CS Lewis
You can either avoid the porcupines that God has providentially placed in your lives or you can try to love them and maybe even hug them…this is one of the most effective pathways to deep sanctity!

“I have learned now that while those who speak about ones miseries usually hurt, but those who keep silence hurt more.” CS Lewis
Kids sanctify parents, and besides this daily reality, so many other difficult relationships and heavy crosses can weigh down the hearts of so many people out there. I encourage all of you to take it to Jesus, and allow him to lessen the load and soothe your aching heart!

“There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.” GK Chesterton
When is enough, enough? Try pulling your excess spending back a bit, and give some of that extra money to a charitable cause…trust me, God will bless you with more than enough peace and inner fulfillment.
God bless,
