I never tire of revisiting certain authors and books, especially C.S. Lewis and his Chronicles of Narnia. In fact, the older I get, the more I find to love in these books. It makes me appreciate the dedication that Lewis wrote for the first book, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” in which he tells his goddaughter that “someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
Want to hear a secret? You likely know a prayer that can reorient you to everything in your life. And it goes like this:
“Bless us, O Lord, and these, Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
(Or as you might have learned it growing up: “BlessusOLordandthesethygifts,” spoken in one breathless prayer, racing at break-neck speed to get to dinner, stomach rumbling.)
