There is nothing like homemade sauce and meatballs.  They take some work, and things can get messy… but in the end, they are worth it.  

Friendships are like that.  Parenting is like that.  Marriage is like that.  Life is like that. 

Today I am thankful for the messiness that is in my life… in my kitchen, in my relationships, and in my heart.  I am also thankful for the grace that comes with it.
