All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.

The foremost quality of a trusting disciple is gratefulness.

Trust is the bridge from yesterday to tomorrow...built with planks of thanks... I can walk the planks - from known to unknown - and know He holds.

This week...we remember. We celebrate something many days I can't even wrap my mind around...but I trust it with all my heart and I feel ultimate gratitude for...DEATH. SUFFERING. CROSS. NAILS. BLOOD SHED. JUSTICE. GRACE. VICTORY. RESURRECTION. It's what gives meaning to everything else in my life. It's what gives me hope when I don't feel like going on. It's what gives me hope when I'm discouraged with this life of mine.
It's ultimately what helps me to continue counting along with Ann...
