Good Tuesday morning Col Burroughs and Posse. We sometimes wish for things or people without thinking about the consequences to ourselves and others. Fortunately, just like unanswered prayers, wishes rarely come true unless you are willing to put some effort into them. Therefore we should think about what it is we wish for and put positive intention into them; just in case they do come true. I would rather wish good things for people than bad ones; we can usually find a way to reframe even negative feelings into a more positive view if we try.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I quote this to my students and they haven't a clue what I mean. One day it will hit them like a slap across the face.

I expect that you are proactive most of the time and that you adapt well to most fluid circumstances. No doubt you care deeply for those you are responsible for as well as those who rely on you for advice. I expect you have sufficient endurance, resilience, and stamina to survive though this summer into the autumn and winter with grace. I hope those who depend on you and I are thriving under our leadership as we endure optimistically with hope in the LORD. ‘May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.’ [Romans 15:13 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.

I pray for sustaining hope for adopted son and daughter who reads this prayer or listens to it. YOU are working all to good for the body of Christ corporately and each of us individually in YOUR perfect timing. Give each of us eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart sensitive to the Holy Spirit. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.' [Galatians 6:9 ESV]
I hope and pray that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters is wise enough to realize that YOU are in control of every detail of our lives dear LORD. Too many fools hope in as well as fear luck and fate to their demise. Thankfully each of YOUR own are aware that faith in YOU is the surest assurance in life and creation. ‘Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.’ [Hebrews 11:1-3 ESV]
I pray that each of us who are parents, grandparents and leaders are striving to be honorable, trustworthy, and worthy of emulation. I pray that we demonstrate selfless love and servant leadership consistently to our children and those we lead. 'Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.' [Exodus 20:12 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Tuesday night and awoke refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader after a tumultuous hard raining T-Storm and now clearing skies! I did managed to get the new dishwasher and a new garbage disposal installed yesterday, so am now ready for a short R&R, with only a few days to go before a return to New England...

Today is “Wish or Wishing Day!” Why Not? ** My first meme is to all who read it...**

MY PERSONAL QUOTE:
It is great to wish, better to dream and more important to implement those wishes and dreams into reality." - Kerry F. Harkins - August 3, 2021

Everything in your life started as a thought, a wish, a hope, or a dream, either in your mind or in the mind of someone else. Your thoughts are creative. Your thoughts form and shape your world and everything that happens to you. - Brian Tracy, Goals!

"It isn't hard at all to make a wish. The difficultly lies in how to make what you wish for a reality." - Catherine Pulsifer

"It is no surprise that those who - Wish - may not see results, but those with a resolution get the results they desire - at least close to it!" - Boomy Tokan

"At the end of the day, what we all wish to feel is useful and respected." - Kula Sellathurai; Raymond Aaron, Action Leads to Success

"Instead of wishing that your life could be different, get up and make it happen. Ditch the excuses and start reaching for the life you've always wanted." - Alex Fitel, Excuses: How to Stop Making Them and Start Living

"May the sun shine all day long, everything go right and nothing wrong. May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true!" Irish Saying

Each of us makes wishes, but...

“Leaders don’t wish things will happen; they make them happen.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Prayer Is a Power We Have

Prayer is not only a need that each of us has; it is also a power. Jesus has told us that whatever we ask in his name, God will give us. And because prayer is a power, it is also a responsibility and challenge. It is a responsibility because through prayer we can join with Christ in redeeming the world. If we pray only for ourselves or about ourselves, we have not yet learned to pray, for prayer is outward- reaching and all-embracing. A good barometer of where we are in our union with God is whether or not our prayer reaches out to all people. If my prayer centers mainly on myself, then that is where I am. The true prayer accepts Christ’s challenge to join with him in opening his or her arms to all. And as one’s prayer becomes more cosmic and other-centered, so does one’s thinking and attitudes.
— from the book Song of the Sparrow: New Poems and Meditations by Murray Bodo, OFM

Very nice piece to share from the Sond of Sparrow this morning LTC (Join to see) - thank you brother for your inspiration...

“There are a lot of things that I’ve wished for in life, but to me it’s all about planning, resourcing, and executing a vision, dream, goal or objective. What do you wish for? Here’s what I wish for you all today…

‘I wish nothing but the best for you.’ – Unknown Author

May whatever you wish for, if you have wishes come to fruition through hard work and perseverance; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
