Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs
To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.
Criss Jami
I realize today that nothing in the world is more distasteful to a man than to take the path that leads to himself.
Hermann Hesse
The humblest tasks get beautified if loving hands do them.
Louisa May Alcott
Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing. I have only begun to learn content and peace of mind since I have resolved at all risks to do this.
Thomas Huxley

I expect that you are sincerely humble and grateful to the LORD since HE works all to the good for the collective body of Christ. Being humble is so much better than being humiliated Dave.
I pray that you and I are spiritually mature enough to let others take places of honor in gatherings, performances and meals at home and any other place we are invited to go to, my brother-in-Christ CWO3 Dave Alcantara.
I pray for an increase of true humility for the radical progressive members of Congress and Governors. I pray for humility and great listening skills for the bureaucratic personnel who interface with the constituents and
I pray for humility for each elected leader, legislator, and judge in the relatively free world including Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America as well as the Middle eastern nations.
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word – on humility
“When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” [Luke 14:8-11]
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. [1 Peter 5: 6-11 ESV]
Galatians 5:22-23 English Standard Version (ESV)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Monday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
