And another new week begins!
August 10, 2026
On this date in history...
On August 10, 1948, Oxford don and apologist C. S. Lewis set down a bracing counsel in a private letter: “We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good; if bad, because it works in us patience, humility, contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.” The sentence gathers many of Lewis’s lifelong themes—providence, sanctification through suffering, and a forward-leaning hope that refuses to treat earthly comfort as the final measure of blessing.
Lewis wrote not as a distant theorist but as a man acquainted with grief and disruption: the trauma of war, personal losses, and the daily discipline of faith when feelings falter. His line reads like a practical catechism for ordinary Christians learning to bless God without pretending pain is pleasant.

August 10 must have been a good day for letter writing. In 1953, Lewis penned another one:
