Good “Wednesday & Hump Day” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the wispy clouds over the Greater Boston Area with a cool temperature of 64° but mostly sunny and calm winds...
“Endure Day!” Why Not?
My Quote:
"To endure is to last for long periods of time as we know it. Freedom has endured in our Country, but less so in many others, yet we take our Freedom for granted, which we should not, as it is a fragile component of the ways of man. Kerry F. Harkins - August 19, 2020
1) " The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering." - Ben Okri
2) "The worst evils which mankind has ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments." - Ludwig von Mises
3) "The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure." - Marcus Tullius Cicero
4) "Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
5) "All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers." - Henry David Thoreau
There are many ways to look at the word "Endure", but as one moves along the path of life know that...

Sgt (Join to see) - Great personal quote brother Kerry. Thanks for the additional quotes. Enjoy the rest of your evening my friend.
"May you always endure the days ahead and make the tough decisions that endure the test of time when called upon. May you always be strong and endure life's challenges today and, in the future, to come. Keep yourself healthy, so you can endure anything that comes your way. Be positive always. Keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Be tough, endure, and be resilient and always keep your faith in yourself and life! Life throws us many curve balls, so always keep your chin up, chest out, and your eye on the ball! Hit the ball so far out of the park it’s remembered and will endure all time!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I expect that you like me have endured much and that you have grown in grace through the challenges. Some grow more bitter in challenging times. I expect and hope that we continue to grow in peace, compassion, kindness and indeed joy as we go through present and future periods of challenge. The LORD is aware of our steadfastness and I expect HE is pleased as we help others to endure with hope; 'your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. Therefore, we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring. [2 Thessalonians 1:3b-4 ESV, my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
Thank YOU, LORD for YOUR sacrificial love for each one of YOUR adopted children and common grace for everybody. YOU endured more on the cross that we can imagine. Thankfully, YOU healed each one of us from the punishment of sin on the cross. While we still bear the varying effects of sin, YOU sustain each of us and YOU continual provide for our needs and our desires since YOU prune us of desires not good for us and those we love, or even hate.
I pray LORD that YOU bless each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer with an increase in the fruit of the Spirit: goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Enable each of us to demonstrate our faith in YOU by an increase of enduring good works for those YOU lead us to assist. ‘What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.’ [James 2:14-17 ESV]
I pray LORD for wisdom and eyes to see for each of us. Enable us to be so familiar with YOUR Word that we can instantly spot false teaching and false prophecy in these darkening times 'And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.' [Matthew 24:11-14 ESV]
I lift those on the front lines in the riots; those on the front lines in medical triage; those in ICUs and emergency rooms; police, investigative, and security personnel throughout this nation; and those deployed in this nation and overseas and their family members to YOU dear LORD. I pray that YOU bless each one of these people with an increase in graceful endurance. I pray that YOU draw people to come alongside them physically where practical and specific prayers for prayer warriors as YOU prompt us.
I pray that you and your family members slept well Tuesday night and awoke healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning Col Burroughs. Endure is not a word I use very much although we all certainly have times and things that we have to endure. I prefer to think about overcoming, soaring, mending, etc. That said, there are times and things which cannot be made whole and they have to be endured. Endurance is a test of patience, of faith and of life. Don't let go, there are better things to come.

Happy Hump day COL Mikel J. Burroughs
Solitude is the soil in which genius is planted, creativity grows, and legends bloom; faith in oneself is the rain that cultivates a hero to endure the storm, and bare the genesis of a new world, a new forest.
Mike Norton
The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure much.
William Hazlitt
Don’t pass on your passions, to settle in the stale normality. Endure. Strive. Ensure.
