When first things are first

"When I have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. In so far as I learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of God and instead of God, I shall be moving towards the state in which I shall not love my earthly dearest at all. When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased."

-C.S. Lewis

My parents had this quote on their wedding invitations. I think it is true.

I think it's true too. I'm so thankful that there's a quote about this, and that you shared it. And I'm thankful also for yaour face Karyn Guenther. Happy love day.
