The Colonel’s Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!

Maj Marty Hogan good morning sir, have a blessed day.

So True, we need leaders who develop others! Leaders develop others leaders not followers!

SFC David Reid, M.S, PHR, SHRM-CP, DTM agreed. The best leaders are mentors.

I expect you appreciate the Biblically-inspired quote on the statue of liberty ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.’ No doubt you yearned for emancipation as a teenager to drive, to move out on your own, and perhaps to marry somebody your heart was set on. ‘May he grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans! May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions! [Psalm 20:4-5 ESV] my brother-in-Christ SSG Samuel Kermon.

I pray that parents remember their own yearnings when they/we were young. LORD I pray that YOU pour out a measure of compassion, understanding, and goodness on parents as they talk with their children. I pray for honesty and freedom in communication in families – free of duplicity and belittling. Strengthen the bonds of trust between spouses and parents with children. ‘Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. [Romans 12:9-12 ESV]
I lift the governmental leaders and judges from national level to local level in the USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, France, India, Japan, Korea, Australia, Philippines and New Zealand to YOU. I pray for an increase in truth from elected leaders. I pray for an increase in personal integrity and sincere efforts to rebuild trust and repair divisions. I pray that YOU bless those who sincerely intend to improve trust across the aisle. ‘O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you. et not those who hope in you be put to shame through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.' [Psalm 69:5-6 ESV]
I pray that you strengthen our resolve to do well and bless each we interact with. I pray for endurance in standing up for truth. Enable us to be firm in convictions with grace with wisdom and discernment to limit compromise to minor issues of preference. ‘'But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts 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 3:14-16 ESV]
I pray that YOU infuse hope into those devoid of hope; that YOU bless widows, widowers, orphans, the homeless and the severely disabled in body and mind. ‘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]
I pray that YOU tear down manmade strongholds of philosophy, self-worship, and foundations formed on lust. ‘‘Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury. I will tear down the wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the LORD. [Ezekiel 13:13-14 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Saturday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Sunday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - We have simlar yearnings today Charlie, but I don't think we can reverse the corruption, bribes, payoffs, and paid political leaders that greed has established in all parts of our government from the Federal, State, and local levels. It seems to be a yearning by these individuals to fills their political coffers and pockets instead of the yearning to serve the people at all levels. I hope I'm wrong, but I don;t see the light at the end of this tunnel. I yearn for a government that serves the people and not themselves someday....

“If you truly yearn for something or someone then your heart and mind will speak to you with different feelings of emptiness and anxiety. Listen to what your body is telling you and give it the nourishment that it needs. Don’t ignore it. ‘It is yearning that does all the work.’ — Rumi. May you never be lost or gone forever, because you’ll always have a yearning to do something different, meet new friends, find your relationship with God, or achieve your desired goals; may you always have the right attitude to fulfill that yearning you have inside, whatever it may be for the good of human progress; 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. What do you yearn for in this life?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

It will happen....when Jesus Christ returns for us COL Mikel J. Burroughs

That is great, staying positive. Have a good day.

Excellent comment GySgt Thomas Vick, and as I contemplated it, I agreed with with your statement...more than I had ever thought... It's real!

Excellent things to focus on GySgt Thomas Vick never go wrong there
