I got the greatest compliment the other day...

So we all enjoy compliments. We all like being associated with great men and women...

Recently, a friend of mine told me when she reads C.S. Lewis...

...she thought of me.

Now that's a compliment.

For those who aren't aware of C.S. Lewis, he wrote the great Narnia books, but he is also considered the most important Christian theologian in the past 100 years by many...



This gets me thinking.





What is the best compliment you ever got?
The nicest thing anyone ever said to you?

Because in the end...try not to remember the crap
people say. Try to remember the good stuff.




Life is so messy. One day we are up. The next we are down. Our friends love us one sec, then we become a burden the next. Work is praising us on Monday and telling us to get it together by Thursday. The car works fine one moment, and $500 dollars later, we're in the shop waiting to get it fixed. The bank account has too much one day and not enough in the morning. Prayers are answered yes. Prayers are answered no. Smiles across the face. Then tears flowing. The rollercoasters are too much. So that's why we need to keep the parts we love attached to us and discard the parts that break us.

Take a moment to remember the time someone saw the best in you. And hold onto it.

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body. ~ C.S. Lewis
