Thank You, Mr. Lewis

“The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own’, or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life - the life God is sending one day by day: what one calls one’s ‘real life’ is a phantom of one’s own imagination. This at least is what I see in moments of insight: but it's hard to remember it all the time.”
-C.S. Lewis, in a letter to Arthur Greeves

So true, and so hard to remember. My life is not my own - I've been bought with a price.
