Practicing contentment by remembering the graces of the week.This time of year, as the days keep getting shorter and shorter, I seek out the little things to add light to the dark days. While is has been bitterly cold, there is a light blanket of snow covering up the dark, dormant earth. As Christmas approaches, the number of Christmas lights lighting up the dark evenings is increasing, including the lights on our tree this year. I love looking out our front window and seeing lights twinkling in the evening instead of the inky darkness.
We hosted three young ladies one evening this week for cooking decorating and it was such a pleasure to listen to the giggles and watch the creativity as they iced their cookies. GBaby joined in jabbering along with the activity in the kitchen.
With a cancellation on the calendar on Saturday, I gained a morning to play in the kitchen and worked on homemade spinach linguine for our Christmas dinner.
We have a warm home, and our daily needs are met in excess. Life is full and I am blessed. May this week find your life filled with peace and abundant joy this Christmas season.
