The longer I lived in the little house with the towering lilac bushes, the harder it became to act like all the “things” in life mattered at all. Lost children, without hope, were my heart’s only vision. After work one day, I walked home and saw Litey sitting on the front porch with a guitar,…

Love CS Lewis! What a legacy He has left for us… PRAISE GOD! Thanks for sharing Natasha! 🙂 ~ Blessings, Amy
