Every year I think it will be different. But every year it is hard for me to focus on the significant things more than the insignificant. Yet again I may have given more thought to what we will wear on Easter than WHO we are celebrating on Easter.
But it's not too late. Thanks to reading my sister's daily posts on Facebook, I found this which I think will help focus my thoughts more rightly the rest of this week.
And then I've got Lulu to give me perspective. She loves to write her own songs. Yesterday she sang this interesting song of confession, "I didn't do it axadentally, I did it on purpose!" In a sense, I haven't "axadentally" allowed the lesser things to distract me from the glorious things this week, I did it on purpose. Too easily distracted. Too easily wooed.
“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(or coordinated outfits, I might add) 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
Let me not be pleased with things that cannot satisfy. Let me instead experience infinite joy. Because I was made to worship every week. Every day. May that be my most coordinated effort in life.
