Positive Memories

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit guide and protect us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please help us use our memories to gain strength and confidence as we relive experiences and recognize the positive aspects of the problem solving that went on, and how triumphant and relieved we felt as we prayed to You in Thanksgiving many times after the fact as we huddled in the shelters of Your provision, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
What is hope?  Hope is wishing for a thing to come true; faith is believing that it will come true.  Hope is wanting something so eagerly that-in spite of all the evidence that you're not going to get it-you go right on wanting it.  And the remarkable thing about it is that this very act of hoping produces a kind of strength of its own. -Peale

KJV*
Ro 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Ro 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Ro 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Ro 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Ro 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
