"And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story, which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before." (~C.S. Lewis. The Last Battle)

I love those two words, "at last". It makes me think of Ephesians and "but God". Two words carry so much weight. All their living and waiting and working and striving and adventuring... all of it had come to fruition. 

But God. 

At last. 

They are home. 

It's a beautiful thought.
