Overwhelmed by God's Goodness & Grace

My wonderful wife, Sarah, and I returned from our honeymoon (part 1) on Sunday, May 13 and with our parents present and helping (esp for Mother's Day) we spent 5 hours opening gifts and cards. And amazed, overwhelmed, embarassed, and blessed-beyond-words are just a few words to describe the past ten days.

After I came into the office for a few hours yesterday, we drove to Red Deer to do a few errands before my love, Sarah, went back to work today. On the way home we listened to the Chris Tomlin, "Arriving" CD as we drove by a few dusty fields with farmers readying the land to put their crops in and a nice peaceful Alberta sky and then the sunset just over the fields near the Three Hills. It was just another batch of those moments that God has blessed Sarah and I with over the past year where you have sooooo much to thank God for and can just belt out the songs (sometimes amidst some watering eyes for me) about "How Great is our God" and "Your Grace is Enough," having seen God's Hand so beautifully, powerfully, and richly at work in bringing together His perfect and wondrous plan - and being able to simply revel in His Love and Grace and enjoy Him and His kindness towards you. Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart" has been through our minds often these days. Anyway, I'll quit rambling on... but when the LORD gives you those moments, don't miss them. Live them, enjoy them, savor them, and thank Him for them.

There are a few pics from the wedding and reception available if you want to see them at the following website: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ssmay507/ - Thanks to my new sister-in-law, Lois, for setting this up!
