Day 27... Grace Still Happens (Perfect Together)

She

made biscuits from scratch

sifted the flour
cut in the shortening
hand kneaded the dough

let rest
and baked

until they were golden

pulled out to cool before

real butter
grape jelly

made them perfect

they were perfect
she was perfect
we were perfect

together

And I wonder if she knew...

because the year she left us
was the same year I met

him

(almost as if she made room for him)

to sit at the table
sharing biscuits

made perfect

and I am overcome with emotion
as I have been blessed once again

because...

this feels perfect
they are perfect
we are perfect

together

Country Gravy or Jelly?
