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

My Grandmother once said every morning she sees the ceiling, it is a good morning, because she gets to be with her grandchildren at least one more time.

Sgt (Join to see) Beautiful photos Brother. We moved from the city of Chicago to nowhere Tennessee thirty years ago. I will never move back. I love the country and my little thirteen acres that I own which has its own little woods, a pond (that doesn't hold water very good), room to walk in mother natures glory, watch turkey's, whitetails, red foxes and birds of all kinds. My children grew up on this property and explored every nook and cranny it has. When we pass my son gets it because he won't sell it to be subdivided like my daughters would for a fast buck.

I expect that you realize that God elected you before the foundations of the world were set by HIM. Your identity like mine is in Christ as an adopted child of God. Perhaps you like me honor the ideals of this nation. Yet our home is with the LORD. By HIS grace we will remember aspects of life and this existence and thankfully there will be no tears in heaven. ‘For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. [2 Corinthians 5:1-5 ESV'] my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).

I hope you demonstrate courage of conviction when confronted by individuals who question your principles and faith. I expect the foundation of your principles is based on your integrity. Hopefully that foundation is rooted in your personal faith and trust in the LORD. I hope and pray that you and I ‘honor Christ the Lord as holy, 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]
I pray that you and I place our full trust in the LORD and that we try to help our family, friends, and others we interact for productive reasons. I pray that we each reject attempts to increase divisiveness in our neighborhood, work area and anywhere else people gather, my brother-in-Christ. I expect you are aware that the foundation of identity politics is shifting sand. Only the rock of Christ is a sure foundation. ‘See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. [Colossians 2:8-10 ESV]. I expect your character and integrity matches your identity.
I thank YOU LORD that YOU reward each sincere searcher for truth with an increase in wisdom as YOU lead them towards the absolute truth of YOU. ‘And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.’ Hebrews 11:6]
I lift those adopted sons and daughters of YOUR who are earnestly praying for salvation for their loved ones to YOU. I pray that YOU bless most with good news about the individual(s) they have been interceding for before the end of 2021. ‘The end of all things is at hand; therefore, be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.’ [1 Peter 4:7-10 ESV]
I pray for peace and joy for deployed service members and other deployed personnel, their family members and loved ones this summer month of August. I pray that YOU motivate good Samaritans to come alongside families in need and offer assistance without cost to the recipients. Holy Spirit YOU are the Comforter. I pray that YOU comfort distraught family members and lonely family members this night and each night of separation. ‘And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. [John 14:16-17 ESV]
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on our identity in YOU and the importance of personal integrity.
a. 'Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.’ [Ephesians 1:2-6 ESV]
b. 'Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.' [Proverbs 28:6 ESV]
c. 'The righteous who walks in his integrity—blessed are his children after him!' [Proverbs 20:7 ESV]
d. ‘See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. [Colossians 2:8-14 ESV]

I pray that you and your family members sleep well Friday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
