The Final Journey

There was a recent post on Facebook somewhere, asking if you could be a character from the 'Narnia' tales, who would you like to be.

Well, I have been in love with Prince Caspian since I was 9 years old, and until recently may have said "Mrs Prince Caspian"...

Many commenters responded that, no matter who we *want to be*, we are all really Eustace - and I agree.

However, I would now definitely chose to be Mrs Reepicheep:  to stand beside the brave man (in mouse form) who fought for Narnia; who was *prepared to* live without his tail, but wouldn't dare come before the great and perfect beast Aslan without it; and who was gratefully cured (new tail!) by Lucy's magic cordial... 

who stuck firm in the battles against evil, and who committed to the 'Dawn Treader's' last voyage though it may sink:  whose parting words on the final journey were that even if that happened, he would then keep going - swimming towards Narnia and Aslan the king - until he died.

THAT bravery, loyalty, courage and devotion I would love to walk beside... I pray to BE that myself, regardless.

We are all actually on that "final journey", and we all have the choice to follow Aslan or not.

May we chose to be one who serves the mighty lion.

God bless us all!!!  Narnia awaits!!!!
