Grace in the Sink
I have clean dishes.
Before you doubt my homemaking skills, let me assure you that this is not a rare state of affairs. But, I've been recovering from a bug all week -- coming home from work and crashing into bed -- and having clean dishes was among the greatest things I could hope for and the least things that I expected. Yet, at the week's end, I toddle about the house, surveying the inevitable clutter of a week's build-up, but having an empty sink and full cabinets.
Sometimes, it is in the must mundane and unextraordinary ways that we are Christ to those closest to us. Those clean dishes are Noel making grace seen and believed for me.

Oh, how I can hear you there! My house has been a war zone for the last week, and this weekend, I finally was able to put it mostly in order. It feels so excellently good.
I'm also glad to hear that you are feeling better. It's no fun being sick! Ever! How's the grad school scene coming? I should get my application in the mail this week : ).
Take care, Elissa-- God bless you!
