Building a palace

Thoughts on 65 days on quarantine.

One thing I have been able to do during this quarantine is reading many books that were collection dust on the shelf; either I read years ago, and can't remember what they were about or never opened. Those are Book we buy or books given to us but never had the chance to read. I am currently reading "Mere Christianity" and next I will read" Screwtape Letters" by C. S. Lewis who wrote over thirty books on Christianity.

I like this quote:

"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of --throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards.

You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a place. He intends to come and live in it Himself." C. S. Lewis
