This time of year our home is bursting with plenty. The harvest of chickens, ducks, lamb, pork and (soon!) beef is tucked into the huge chest freezer. A smaller freezer is full of squash, carrots, beans, blueberries and quart bags stuffed full of tomato sauce made on a steaming day in August.
Now in December we've been scurrying around for weeks squirreling away gifts for each other for Christmas. Thoughtful things that we hope will delight are wrapped with love and tucked under the boughs of a fresh evergreen tree.
Best of all there is the coming together each evening after a long day at work. The ease and comfort of good companionship, pleasant conversation and companionable silences. That is the grace.
How I love to be in this place.
