Some of you may be wondering, why Tootsie Rolls, Snowshoes, and Grace? The Tootsie Rolls came from the back of Chris' jeep. We don't know how long they were there, but we enjoyed eating them over this fall and winter. OK, so that is random.
The Snowshoes and Grace are tied together. Chris and I ended up learning a lot about grace and patience through, well, the process of receiving several pairs of snowshoes as wedding gifts this fall. We received 2-3 of most things we registered for in fact. It seems that when you ask God for something, he doesn't just answer, but he answers in abundance. It seems lavish to us, but in reality it is only a small glimpse of how BIG God's love for us is. It is so big I can't even comprehend it.
Through these four months of being newlyweds, Chris and I have been able to feel the love and grace of God in such tangible ways as Chris finding yet another wedding gift check in the back of his car the other day, or me getting a small bonus at work that helped us break even this month. God is good. He confuses me quite a bit of the time, but he is good. His grace is apparent to us daily and we are certain we could not live without it. It is everything and makes everything we do possible. Pretty cool.
