Thought for the week – Thought for the week – Memory: Resurrection power comes in things ordinary and informal, including our past. Memory is the wellspring of hope for the future we cannot see. Remember. Remember gifts, that for which you are grateful. Remember the presence of friends and strangers who have helped you, saved you. Remember the places, experiences, moments, tears which touched you. Hold onto them as hope for tomorrow.
