Hello. I'll be grateful for some help.
1) Is the preposition "for" OK in the phrase "our hopes for a better future" or is it "of"?
2) Is the sentence OK "April 5th is my sister's birthday"?
3) Please check the sentence "I often recollect our boat trip on the Rhine to Austria."
4) Do you think it's possible to say "I'm grateful for such smiles of fortune" meaning "for such splendid opportunities"?
Thank you so much for your time and help.

All are correct. In #1, "for" is better than "of". In #3, the Rhine does not cross Austria, but the sentence is grammatically correct anyway. And, yes, the metaphor is appropriate in #4.
