The Colonel’s Motivational Quotes of the Day!

Restore day brings to mind a follow-up to damage to a creation. Restorations of artworks, furniture, vehicles and homes are common.
Restoration of the human soul is the purview of God and yet HE allows us to participate in the restoration of the soul of those we love and care for.
It is well with my own soul and my marriage.

Good Thursday, October 22, 2020 morning my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs

Quotes I appreciate
1. Desiderius Erasmus 'By a Carpenter mankind was made, and only by that Carpenter can mankind be remade.'
2. Jim Elliot 'Most laws condemn the soul and pronounce sentence. The result of the law of my God is perfect. It condemns but forgives. It restores - more than abundantly - what it takes away.'
3. Warren G. Harding 'America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality.'


Scriptures:
a. Psalm 51:10-12 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.'
b. Galatians 6:1-5 ESV 'Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.'
c. Psalm 80:19 ESV 'Restore us, O LORD God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved!
d. Joel 2:23-26 “Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before. The threshing floors shall be full of grain; the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you. “You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame'

Good morning Mikel and my friends on RallyPoint! Restoration and restoring can mean many things. Restoring property, restoring relationships, and/or restoring oneself. I think of spiritual restoration. Becoming whole again. May we all be restored.

"Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."
Psalm 51:12

“Restore Day!” Why Not?

1) "Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have." - Robert Holden

2) "Invent your world. Surround yourself with people, color, sounds, and work that nourish you." - Sark

3) "You can't hate yourself happy, You can't criticize yourself thin, You can't shame yourself wealthy. Real change begins with self-love and self care." - Jessica Ortner

4) "Nourishing yourself in a way that helps you blossom in the direction you want to go is attainable, and you are worth the effort." - Deborah Day

5) "Selfish is caring for ourselves at others' expense... Self-care is taking care of ourselves so that we can be there for others." - Bill Crawford

6) "When you hurt, be still! When you're restless, be still! When you feel lost, be still! It's in the stillness that you will find restoration, peace, and ultimately find yourself." - Earl Maree

When one analyses what one needs to restore in him or herself, it can be managed but...

“To restore faith in your leadership among the team speak from the heart, not from the head. Take a deep breath and convey the right message.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
