The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day and Week!
Good “R.E.D Friday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the end of another week from the “Eagle’s Nest” in The Woodlands, TX! — 8 October 2021!
Today’s Message is: “Fly Like an Eagle Day!” Why Not?
“In leadership there is a difference between a ‘duck’ and ‘eagle!’ Ducks just sit around and quack all the time, saying” ‘That’s the way we’ve always done it!’ Eagles on the other hand say, ‘There is nothing I can’t accomplish!’ They fly above the 'ducks' all day long. What are you an ‘eagle’ or a ‘duck? The choice is up to you!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I can relate to this one, yes that's me. Defending ducks, we used to say it's hard to soar like an eagle when you fly with turkeys!

Enable each of us to demonstrate the love of God to family, friends and neighbors to draw them to YOU. ‘but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint.' [Isaiah 40:31 ESV]
I pray that you and I heed the admonition of the LORD.
'Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.

I expect your optimism is building in anticipation of the mid-term election results. Hopefully you will vote for social conservatives. No doubt you are enduring the Biden Administration and their Congressional allies. I hope and pray your stamina is sufficient to work for good in these challenging days. ‘For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.'

The Colonel's Message, for this R.E.D. Friday, is a particularly good one and the song by The Steve Miller Band is an awesome one... and to that phrase and to this Post, here are my quote selections for today:
“The Eagle does not escape the storm. The Eagle simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It spreads its mighty wings and rises on the winds that bring the storm.” - Jack White
“And alone and without his nest shall the Eagle fly across the sun.” – Khalil Gibran
“The eagle has no fear of adversity. We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a conqueror!” – Joyce Meyer
“You need eagles wings to get over things that make no sense in this world.” – Tom Petty
“God created us with an overwhelming desire to soar. Our desire to develop and use every ounce of potential He’s placed in us is not egotistical. He designed us to be tremendously productive and “to mount up with wings like eagles,” realistically dreaming of what He can do with our potential.” – Carol Kent
