'In his darkest hours he (st. francis of assisi) still walked the way of gratefulness, devoting himself to the highest form of giving-thanksgiving.'

-Brennan Manning, Ruthless Trust

gratefulness, he believes, is the ultimate act of trust-seeing that we can't really fully trust our God and that what He has for us is for our good, if we are not thankful for what has already been given. bad & good cuz it all brought us to where we are. right now.
