A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, August 17th


Good Morning, God
It is always said in a negative way, “Those who don’t remember history are destined to repeat it”.  Well, Lord, it is to our benefit when we remember from where we came and how we got to where we are.  Our own Dubois County Museum with its newly established and minted Main Street is a great example. 
It is very thought provoking, God to see the different vignettes of where we used to live and how we used to do things.  It is interesting to imagine the step-by-step changes that have taken place on our current main streets to get us from where we were to where we are now.  It is also interesting, God, that the more things have changed, the more things have stayed the same:  We still have churches, saloons and jails, millenary, grocery and shoe shops, barber shops, newspaper offices and photography studios, land surveyors, school houses and funeral homes.  We also have the homes to which we go for warmth, food, family and love.
Thank you, Lord, for memories, but thank you for our present live, also.   Please bless it all.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
