Remembering Nurtures Trust

"Trust is the bridge from yesterday to tomorrow, built with planks of thanks.  Remembering frames up gratitude.  Gratitude lays out the planks of trust.  I can walk the planks - from known to unknown - and know:  He holds.

Remembering is an act of thanksgiving, this turn of the heart over time's shoulder to see all the long way His arms have carried."  ~Ann Voskamp in One Thousand Gifts

Because of what God has done in the past, I can trust Him for the future.  Being thankful for all that He has done before cultivates a confidence that He will continue to perform His will faithfully in our lives today and in the future.
