365 Things.

The hardest part of this project is sorting through the daily endowment of blessings to find the one that inspired me most.  Although I don't write daily, the gift I do highlight is a compilation of 365 different blessings not necessarily in any order.  All the blessings are good gifts and remind me of my greatest blessing, His grace and compassion, His love.

43. Summer Reading

You might wonder why the title isn't Fall/Winter reading because there is no such thing as uninterrupted reading in summer. 

But the title is Summer Reading because of the great quote I found in the last of my books I chose for the summer. 
  • Grapes of Wrath, 
  • Of Mice and Men, 
  • My Antonia, 
  • Peace Like A River, 
  • The Alchemist, 
  • Magnificent Obsession, and 
  • The Russian Concubine. 
The quote is by C.S. Lewis:

Empty your boat, seeker,
and you will travel more swiftly.
Lighten your load of craving and opinions
and you will reach nirvana sooner.

Absorb it. To be free of opinions and cravings...fixed beliefs and entitled blessings...black magic and envy. These are magic words.
