Serious Joy

The following Lewis quotation is one of my favorites, since it holds together precious realities (much like "sorrowful, yet always rejoicing" in 2 Cor. 6) that so many so readily separate:

"There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious" (C. S. Lewis, The Last Battle).

Incidentally, when I first began dating my wife, and she wondered if I was too serious for her (on account of something a friend had said), I quoted this text to her.
