Knight & Shining Armor

My daughter came home one day before she went off to college and recited this to me:

"A woman should be so close to God that a man should have to chase God to get her!" By C. S. Lewis

I was blown away! I love C. S. Lewis, but I had never heard this one. I wanted to share it with you. I have posted it near my computer and I like to remind my lovely daughter of this from time to time, since she has left for college where a sea of men swim about. A mother's heart for her daughter should be the sought after Knight and Shining Armor type character(a long time away, down the road, way-way down the road) for a future spouse. Mostly, I pray for godly character! Oh sure, I pray that he is financially successful to some degree and all the bells and whistles that one wants in a spouse, but if he does not know Christ(Meaning having a relationship with him), there are no boundaries that help prevent one from slipping away from the shiny armor! Of course, this theory goes for both genders. For myself, it is what keeps me striving to do the right thing, which keeps me from adding to any regrets that may have otherwise piled up over the course of a life time.
