Trust is leaning out a window on the 4th floor of a burning building, holding your toddler in your arms and … letting go.

This situation played out in Germany yesterday. A father throwing his son from a burning building to the waiting arms of rescuers below.

Is that trust? Is that love? Is that courage?

All I know is I don’t think I could have done it. Jen and I talked about it. If it had been either of us, we would have jumped holding Zacharie, hoping that our body would break the fall.

I don’t know if that would have been the right decision. We both might die.

In this case, the father made the right choice, his son survived the fall. 9 others, 5 of them children, did not.

That, my friends, is trust.
