Fighting a loosing battle? It isn't loosing unless you quit....

“I know all about the despair of overcoming chronic temptations. It is not serious provided self-offended petulance, annoyance at breaking records, impatience et cetera doesn’t get the upper hand. No amount of falls will really undo us if we keep on picking ourselves up each time. We shall of course be very muddy and tattered children by the time we reach home. But the bathrooms are all ready, the towels put out, and the clean clothes are in the airing cupboard. The only fatal thing is to lose one’s temper and give it up. It is when we notice the dirt that God is most present to us: it is the very sign of his presence.” -C.S. Lewis Whew. What a relief to know that God still wants us, tattered and torn, masks off, just as we are...and that as long as we keep looking for Him and don't give it up that there we will find Him. What a blessing.
