Pictured here is the Official Nora Lamar tote bag contructed of 100% organic cotton! My friend Eleanor collects tote bags, so she wanted to design one with my picture on it, along with my favorite G.K. Chesterton quote, of course! If you read the description of the official Nora Lamar t-shirt, you will know why I love this quote so very much. If not, then keep reading!
I love this quote by G.K. Chesterton because it highlights the loving imagination behind our very existence! We are a part of a grand story! Sometimes the Story is scary and sad; however, like the heroes of old knew, there is a goodness that will prevail. We are to defend that goodness and spread it everywhere we go, like the scattering of water droplets in sunlight or leaves in the wind! Okay, you may be thinking, “but what has this to do with t-shirts, Nora Lamar?” Well, that brings me back to the Chesterton quote on the shirt. Let it be a reminder that without you, the Story would fall apart. Whether our role is grand or very humble, it is still vital. This reminds me of one of many wise observations made by Lord Elrond in Professor Tolkien’s telling of the stories of Middle Earth:
Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.
In conclusion, St. Peter also says to humble oursleves under God’s mighty hand. So, you see that humility is valuable to the great Author Himself. And since He, in his love, allows us to participate in the writing of our part of the grand Story, let us embrace this truth as the ink flows from the Author’s pen!
This tote bag would be a lovely gift for your favorite book worm, teacher, librarian, Chesterton fan, or bird lover!
Thank you for visiting my wee shop!
