Seed: "Because remembering with thanks is what causes us to trust- to really believe."
Water: When I remember where God has taken me and how He has proven trustworthy in the past, I cannot help but trust Him for my future. I think that's why I like to blog. I do it so I will remember God's presence in my life. I made each of the four years I have blogged into books because I thought I might want to have something in my hand to remember. Funny though, I've never looked back at them.
Growth: I have grown to trust Him so much through blogging, but mostly by writing these gifts and remembering what He's done in the past. He will never abandon me in the future.
These statements also made me stop and think: "What if remembering doesn't kindle gratitude? What if remembering just leaves third-degree burns?"
Last night I was looking for a photo of my son and our first dog, Max. They were (are) so unorganized! As I looked through the pictures I noticed the pictures that had dates on them. I saw many with the year 1993. That was the year my ex-husband told me of his two year affair. My kids were very young when I went through the divorce. Seeing those pictures didn't leave third-degree burns... anymore! Honestly I was aware of a little sting, but for the most part I felt gratitude for all of the healing that took place. I believe time does not heal wounds but God does! I'm grateful He got my attention. He was with me every step of the way. In the remembering... I trust Him!
