024 - Weak Desires, Too Easily Pleased

Aug 25, 2023  •  "The Gleanings", Jeremy Nelson, Philip Nelson

Today we are considering a "Quotation for Cogitation" - something that we have come across that made us think. This quote is from a collect of daily readings from C.S. Lewis. In this quote, Lewis addresses how our desires are often weak when it comes to eternal things because we are too easily pleased with temporal things. We will consider also how to cultivate your desires for eternal things.
