Have a wonderful and grateful evening, my friend and brother-in-Christ SGT John " Mac " McConnell.
Heavenly Father, I pray that YOU bless each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters with wisdom, discernment, endurance and grace as YOU lead us to serve and encourage others.
YOU enable us to volunteer praise and thanks to YOU vocally for those who can speak and in other ways for those who can’t.
Open our eyes dear God to see the fields and give each of us ears to hear YOUR call. YOU designed us to be fulfilled when we help and encourage others selflessly.
Use each of us dear LORD to listen to those who need encouragement to speak; help us to speak tenderly to those who are grieving and give us wisdom to answer sincere questions.
I pray that YOU unite the members of YOUR body and help us remember that what we have in common is greater than what may appear to divide us. Unity in Christ is paramount.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

“Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.” ― Horace Mann
Good morning Mikel! These are very profound quotes and are very inspirational as well. The quote from Sherry Anderson is my favorite. As Horace Mann wrote, helping our fellows is important to our own humanity and wellness. Have a great weekend!

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs. I especially like the Oscar Wilde quote:
"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention."
Small acts add up, like donating blood, assisting elderly neighbors, or mentoring others. Payments comes in the form of knowing that you have made a difference for someone.
