Fruit

Delving into the quote department- This from CS Lewis, Perelandra, in which Ransom continues his space travels and meets the Lady- this line may be paraphrased but here it is-
' This fruit today is the best fruit!'

​I see in myself regret and irritation towards time wasted, waiting to leave, waiting for something or someone, go early so you can wait, time that seems empty time with nothing produced. I need to think of that as Holy Time. Time given to me for God. Certainly practicing the Jesus Prayer in that time would be fruitful. "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, be merciful to me a sinner" or short version, 'Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me', or Holy Theotokos, pray for me!'
That time could be set aside just for that purpose. A time out so to speak.
​ I remember in the past thinking that was a good thing to do while waiting in a grocery line, and enjoying it as such. I have lost that...Time to realize, time to take into account- opt for a good use of 'Fruitful Time'.

    Blog Quotes...
    I have piles, on my desk, by my computer, in my bedroom, in bookshelves, of quotes from a variety of authors that hit me as being  DEEP THOUGHTS.
    All of these scraps of paper are to me, things to pay attention to, things to learn from, and most of all food, in a spiritual sense.

    It occurs to me today, to put them somewhere to  access them, and something you might like to think about too.  

    So -Merry Christmas- a gift to me certainly, and I hope to you!
