"Most of the time we are burrowed away in our Hobbit holes and don't give a thought to our heritage.
Bilbo Baaggins certainly didn't. Not until Gandalf entered his life.The magician entered his life through the front door of the hobbit's burrow. Before the door shut, a dozen mottley dwarfs followed on his heels, and on the turn of it's hinges, the quiet world of Bilbo Baggins dramatically changed.
Suddenly he found himself saddled with the unwanted responsibility of hosting a houseful of strangers.After emptying his pantry to satisfy their ravenous appetites, the exhausted Bilbo plopped on the hearth of his fireplace before a crackling fire. as he rested there, the dwarfs joined in singing an ancient song, and as he listened "something Tookish woke up inside him and he wished to go and see the great mountains and hear the pine trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves and wear a sword instead of a walking stick" "Paraphrase and Quote by Ken Gire of J. R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
When I read the phrase "something tookish woke up inside him" It excited my spirit, I remembered God's word says "Deep calls unto Deep." The Spirit of God calls to things that are buried deep within. The Spirit of God calls to things God the Father has planted. Things that have been there since the Dawn of Time.
There are things that are being awakened in my spirit as God calls to me. Do you feel like strapping on a sword and going and seeing your great mountains? The music, the book, the movie may excite you but remember it is the Spirit of God that calls you!
I took the road less travelled and it made all the difference" Robert Frost
