Thank you SP5 Mark Kuzinski for always dropping in brother. We've create a strong bond here on RallyPoint my friend. Give my best to Diana and keep this in mind my friend:

"May you always find in your heart to perform a daily act of kindness toward your fellow human being and you can change the narrative and the world through kindness and giving value to everyone you come in contact with one person at a time; may show everyone how positive you are and that you know when resilience is needed during difficult times; and may you take the best care of yourself and keep your family strong, safe, and healthy. Reach out your hand today and change a life!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Mark, I can't beat that one. All because I have had, on occasion, to have my groceries paid for twice and lunch bought from unknown people. Acts ARE worth more than words.

I expect that you are getting kinder as time rolls on since the HOLY Spirit is sanctifying your soul and HE has blessed you with an increase of the fruit of the Spirit kindness as HE led you to intersect with people in need of some kindness. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. [Ephesians 4:32 ESV]; Love is patient and kind [1 Corinthians 13:4a ESV]; But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.' [Matthew 5:44a ESV] Mark.
I pray that you and I are alert to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and that we instantly respond to HIM since we recognize HIS ‘voice’ and HE has stored the word of God in our soul for such times as these. Our neighbors, friends and family members appreciate kindness especially when they are shy or lack the courage to reach out to us, my brother-in-Christ SP5 Mark Kuzinski.

I pray dear LORD that YOU prompt your prayer warriors to intercede for our nation and Communist China. I pray for wisdom, discernment, and good judgement for elected leaders, legislators, and judges throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America. I pray that YOU convict the communist Chinese leaders [CCP] responsible for withholding information, hoarding raw materials and medications the CCP knew would be needed, and ensuring the infected Chinese people were sent back to the nations they settled in to spread COVID-19.
LORD I lift the first responders and others on the front lines of medical triage and police and security personnel responsible for protection, safety, and security. I pray that they are sufficiently kind and wise. I pray that the local constituents, family members of patients, and others are treating those on the front lines with respect and kindness.
I pray that of each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who read this are become more selfless, less selfish, and kinder and more compassionate to our neighbors and anybody else we interact with. I pray that parents and grandparents demonstrate kindness deliberately and consistently in front of the children/grandchildren and that they young take these lessons to heart.
LORD I pray that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters takes YOUR admonishment to heart:
a. 'Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. ' [1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ESV]
b. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. [Ephesians 4:31-32 ESV]
c. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. You have heard that it is said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.' [Matthew 5:42-44a ESV]
LORD I lift the sick, the injured, the displaced refugees, transients, and suicidal throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America to YOU. I pray that YOU motivate individuals to intersect with each of these individuals and treat them kindly as we listen to their needs, hurts, hopes, dreams and fears for themselves and those they love.
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on love and kindness which is an aspect of Biblical love.
a. 'Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.' [[1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ESV]
b. 'And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. You have heard that it is said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.' [ Matthew 5:40-45 ESV]
c. ‘Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.’ [Ephesians 4:29-32 ESV]
d. 'For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.' [1 Thessalonians 5:9-13 ESV ]

I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Saturday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good Morning, Colonel Burroughs, and a happy Independence Day to you and the RP family who are the defenders of freedom.

"There is no substitute for kindness toward one another for it brings untold value to both the giver and the receiver."
Have a blessed day, Brother Mikel and God Bless America!
I will leave you with this, one of my favorite patriotic songs - "This is My Country"
I hope you enjoy it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zqoR3yWu2k

This is my country! Land of my birth!
This is my country! Grandest on earth!
I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold,
For this is my country to have and to hold.

What diff'rence if I hail from North or South
Or from the East or West?
My heart is filled with love for all of these.
I only know I swell with pride and deep within my breast
I thrill to see Old Glory paint the breeze.

With hand upon heart I thank the Lord For this my native land,
For all I love is here within her gates.
My sould is rooted deeply in the soil on which I stand,
For these are mine own United States.

This is my country! Land of my choice!
This is my country! Hear my proud voice!
I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold,
For this is my country! To have and to hold.
