The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day

Great to see RallyPoint Member Sgt Albert Castro in Boerne, TX yesterday at the VFVRIDE 2020 "Warriors for Life" 3rd Annual Poker run. Albert has been there to help each year for the event and we're meeting for breakfast this morning with his wife, Bella Burroughs, and LT Michael Watson at the Little Gretel Restaurant this morning, then heading back toward Lubbock, TX before sundown.

Good morning Col Burroughs. Our world would be a much better place if we treated people better. More respect and more kindness. Neither one costs much but gathers so much positive in payback. The other issue is how we want to be treated ourselves. We teach people how to treat us by what we tolerate or reward; if you don't like how a relationship is going look at your part in it. Change one side of the equation and the entire equation changes. How are you treating others and how are they behaving with you?

Treat People Day
Treat people as you would like to treated or better makes sense to me.

Good Sunday, November 8, 2020 morning my traveling friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs

Quotes I appreciate
1. Laurence Sterne 'Respect for ourselves guides our morals; respect for others guides our manners.'
2. J.K. Rowling "if you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors not his equals'
3. Richard Branson 'Respect is how to treat everyone not just those you want to impress'
4. Benedict Cumberbatch 'Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I'm also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.'

Scriptures
a. Matthew 7:12 'In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.'
b. Matthew 22:36-38 ESV 'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.'
c. Hebrews 13:1-4 ESV 'Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
d. 1 Peter 3:1-2 ESV 'Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct.'
e. 1 Peter 3:7 ESV 'Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.'

I lift husbands and wives who are YOUR adopted sons and daughters to YOU LORD. I pray that parents raise their children with respect and consistent love in the admonishment of the LORD. I pray that husbands demonstrate love to their wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel [1 Peter 3:7b ESV]. I pray that wives demonstrate respect to their husbands and defer when appropriate to their husbands. 'Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct.' [1 Peter 3:1-2]
I lift widows, widowers, orphans, outcasts and those society rejects in the USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, Europe, Central and South America, Africa, India, Australia, Philippines, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and New Zealand to YOU. ‘Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.' [James 1:27 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Sunday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Monday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ
