I Miss It So

[jaybreak]

I miss some things, too, that I used to be embroiled in, in the past. There was a C.S. Lewis quote that I wish I had saved somewhere, where he said life is a series of renunciations and sacrifices (though the words were in a less depressing context). I guess everything has its time, and I think we make it worse if we try to keep certain divine provisions securely alive past their shelf life.

One thing I've said to my son when he was much younger was: "Sorry, buddy, eventually everything breaks or dies," when one of his toys fell apart, or a similar event.
