Prayerfully Re-Center Around God
Philippians 1:3
I thank my God every time I remember you.
~ Apostle Paul
Pondering Point
"I have thankful memories of you.” Those would be stirring, heartening and encouraging words to hear from someone.
Such words are a reflection of the person being remembered and of the person doing the remembering.
Let’s take time to thankfully remember and re-center around God.
Review the Week
Is there an attitude of thanksgiving that matches up with your memory of people? For whom are you most thankful?
Repent (if necessary)
... for a less-than-thankful attitude and thank God for His willingness to forgive any ungrateful mindset you found.
Return (as necessary)
Do your remembering – with thanksgiving – as you bring people to mind that have been blessings this past year.

Today, you are the story. In my discipleship journey, I have learned that one of the keys to healthy, godly living with other people is to make sure that the relationship stays bigger than any problems.
Hope has not been without struggles. I have not led without failures and regrettable choices. Yet as a church, Hope continues to not just survive, but thrive. God is allowing us to grow into a mighty oak of righteousness that displays His glory to those around us (Isaiah 61:3)
Beyond that, He is allowing us to help plant forests of other mighty Oaks that will continue to display glory to the world at large until Jesus returns. I thank God for your place in Hope – and even more so for your place in God, the God of all Hope.
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
