As my wife and I are both trying to eat healthier this year, we've been challenged by recipes calling for ingredients we don't have or haven't traditionally had in our kitchen, like whole wheat flour, low fat or no fat items, and the like. For Super Sunday we had our traditional chili, but this time we tried a new low fat low cal recipe and the same was true of our corn bread. Both turned out nice, but we lacked one ingredient for the chili (chili powder!) which we both assumed wrongly we already had in the cupboard. My wife saved the and substituted cayenne pepper and boy did we HAVE chili last night! It is the usual case with us. If we don't have what is called for, we try something else as a substitute and it usually works.
Our marraige is the same way. If we don't seem to have what is called for, we try something else as an alternative. Alone, neither of us has what is needed in our cupboards to make the recipe work, but together, we are confident that God has provided us with the essential ingredients to make our marraige thrive, and thanks to Him, our cupboard is never bare
