Grace

I had a moment of grace today. My husband worked on the lights on the Christmas tree with my daughter’s help while my son, who just had his first piano lesson, sat at the piano and played a halting, one-handed version of the chorus from “Ode to Joy.” Coincidentally, “Ode to Joy” is the song that my husband and I listened to as we marched hand-in-hand out of the church where we got married. I enjoyed the scene from the kitchen while I cooked Sunday dinner. I have a lot to be thankful for.
