The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day!
Good "Sunday" Morning Everyone from the "Eagle's Nest" — October 7, 2018!
Today is: "Compassion Day!" Why Not?
"As a People and a Nation Let us show compassion and find humility in our hearts, souls, and actions." — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "That is what compassion does. It challenges our assumptions, our sense of self-limitation, worthlessness, of not having a place in the world, our feelings of loneliness and estrangement. These are narrow constrictive states of mind. As we develop compassion, our hearts open." — Sharon Salzberg
"A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal." — Steve Maraboli
"Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength." — Dalai Lama
"Creating uplifting environment for others through the words we use and showing compassion goes outside of the home as well." — Chris Johnston
"We should be thankful that God is a longsuffering and compassionate God Who keeps on blessing us in spite of our ungratefulness." — Daniella Whyte
"Cultivating compassion for ourselves and others can bring balance and harmony to our lives in a way we never dreamed of." — Thubten Chodron
"Being compassionate helps with anger and resolves bitterness more easily than anything." — Brittany Hallison

"Compassion is to look beyond uour own pain, to see the pain of others." ~Yasmin Mogahed
Right now this is more critical than ever. With all the diviseness that is going on in our great co
country we all habe to work at healing wounds. People have been used and abused in this process. Most of us zre not a part of this but look around and find someone who could use some healing words. They might be closer to home than you think.

Good evening my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown
Heavenly Father, I pray that YOU help each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to count the cost before asking for Spiritual gifts from YOU. Help us not to take compassion lightly. On the cross, Jesus the Christ displayed compassion for his torturers. I pray that YOU give the fruit of compassion to each who sincerely desires to be compassionate. Help us to be compassionate towards those we should including widows, orphans, imprisoned, infected with incurable ailments, and the strangers YOU place in our path.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
