C.S. Lewis on Prayer

Excerpt from "The Magicians Nephew," by C.S. Lewis

“I am hungry,” said Digory. “Well, tuck in,” said Fledge, taking a big mouthful of grass. Then he raised his head, still chewing and with bits of grass sticking out on each side of his mouth like whiskers, and said, “Come on, you two. Don’t be shy. There’s plenty for us all.” “But we can’t eat grass,” said Digory. “H’m, h,m,” said Fledge, speaking with his mouth full. “Well–h’m–don’t know quite what you’ll do then. Very good grass too.”
Polly and Digory stared at one another in dismay. “Well, I do think someone might have arranged about our meals,” said Digory. “I’m sure Aslan would have, if you’d asked him,” said Fledge. “Wouldn’t he know without being asked?” said Polly. “I’ve no doubt he would,” said the Horse (still with his mouth full). “But I’ve a sort of idea he likes to be asked.”

I am reading these books with Jeremiah and Gwen on tesuday nights. I am at the part where Aslan is telling Digory that he must go on the journey. These past few weeks are the only times that I have seen both of them sit perfectly still and not make a peep. Last time was a little questionable, but when I threatened that I would not continue reading until they were seated and still, they were back in their seats quicker than you could say "FLEDGE!" : )
Every week, Gwen always walks up to this poster on the wall that tells the salvation story, and asks me what it means, so I have been able to share the gospel with her each time.
