The kingdom of heaven is a place of bounty “where the wine never runs out,” my rector once preached about the wedding at Cana.

How can we soften and know that God’s love is already bountiful, allowing more room in our hearts to share the good news of that love and to bountifully share our gifts to the world this season?
