JD – My dear Lucy, I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realised that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. – CS Lewis

EB – Let me tell ya…I don’t get no respect. – Rodney Dangerfield

MS – Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will. – AW Tozer

JW – Old age and treachery overcome youth and talent. – Sandy Tilton

BAD – A flower does not look at the flower next to it. It simply blooms.

Last week I shared some quotes from children’s books.

This week I was searching for another quote from a children’s book and came across the quote above from CS Lewis.

He really hits the nail on the head for me as I think about reading these books to our kids.

Maybe we thought we had outgrown the books and fairy tales of our childhood, but it is never too late to take it down from the shelf, dust it off and enjoy it again.

Make some time to make your way through a childhood favorite.

Make it a great weekend.
