I labored for nearly an entire day putting together a meal for some friends, the old and the new kind. I tried a new thing that I’d never done before and it came together. People stayed late and they laughed. At some point I moved back to the kitchen and tackled the dishes, piled high up on the counter tops like a scene from Cinderella. Yet, the whole time, from start to finish, all I could think of was how- if there is a such thing- this is some kind of snapshot of the Kingdom of God. How rare to get to be in the middle of such a thing, and how even further is it a gift to have some thin slice of an awareness.

Let’s do it all over again tomorrow.
