The "Colonel's" Motivational/Inspirational Quotes and Message of the Day!

Very true and wise words Lt Col Charlie Brown

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - I refuse to do the:"Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be." thing.

SSG Shawn Mcfadden Don't blame you in the least bit brother.

I expect your moral courage, resolute yet compassionate character, and demonstration of respect to each person is inspirational and is worthy of emulation. No doubt your confident yet humble demonstration of servant leadership is noteworthy and builds up confidence. I hope you have willingness to allow people to fall below standards or fail in training; counsel them respectfully yet firmly [especially is they are your children]; and encourage them to be not only competent but superior in meeting their responsibilities. I hope and pray that each of us encourage those who look up to us for leadership, guidance and advice. ‘Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.’ [Philippians 2:3-4 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.

LORD I pray for clarity of purpose, focus, hope in YOU and an increased ability to encourage and ability to listen well for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer or listens to it dear LORD. I pray that you and I do our best to encourage others in need of encouragement, provide a shoulder to lean on, and/or human contact. I hope and pray that the joy of the Lord shines through us and our smile brings smiles to each who the LORD knows needs peace and joy. 'But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.' [1 Thessalonians 5:8-11 ESV]
I am thankful LORD that YOU designed each of us to physically, emotionally and mentally heal. By YOUR grace we build up immune responses to what we are exposed to as a general rule. YOU empower us to grieve loss and gently heal after sufficient time. I pray that YOU bless the individuals and teams working to develop the vaccines and treatments for the variants of SARS-CoV-2 and related diseases with knowledge, patience, and sufficient skill to understand what needs to be done and the endurance to do what needs to be done, step by step. ‘For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up. [Ecclesiastes 8:1-3 ESV]

I lift parents, guardians, grandparents and extended family who are caring for young children to YOU LORD. I pray that those caring for the young are wise enough to read to them while they are young, encourage imagination, encourage their natural curiosity, listen to their hopes and dreams, and help them to yearn to learn and succeed. 'Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope! Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for your statutes continually!’ [Psalm 119:116-117 ESV]
I pray that YOU open our eyes to see the harvest of souls as YOU guide us to pray for, encourage and give hope to. ‘always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.’ [1 Peter 3:15b-16 ESV]
Remember the admonition of the LORD on foundation:
1. ‘Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.’ [Luke 6:47-48 ESV]
2. 'Therefore, let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings. [Hebrews 6:1-3 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Monday night and will awoke refreshed and healthy on Tuesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
