Are we far too easily pleased?

By Ruth Graveling

I wonder what you spend most of your day doing and thinking? Maybe you are in a rush in the morning to get to school then when you come home you watch a bit of t.v., play some sport or hang out with mates, play on your PS3 or whatever... All these things are great ways to spend time but I wonder whether this is all there is... or is there is more to life? Jesus claims to be the way, the truth and the life, therefore spending time getting to know Him will teach us how to truly live!

C.S. Lewis wrote:
"If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us,like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in the slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by an offer of a holiday at sea. We are far to easily pleased."
