I expect you are aware that you are special to the LORD God WHO elected you before time began for good and not for evil. The LORD justified you at salvation by the merits of HIS atonement as HE gave HIS all for you and every other adopted child of God Alan.
I pray that you and I remember to thank the LORD each day for the good and the bad we are experiencing as HE sanctifies each of us in HIS perfect timing, my brother-in-Christ Alan K..
I pray dear God that YOU answer yes to the earnest prayers of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to regenerate the heart/soul of those people we are interceding for.
I thank YOU LORD for YOUR Word “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.”.’ [Romans 8:28-30]
I lift the governors of the states and territories in this nation and their counterparts in other nations as well as the president of this nation and presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors in other nations to YOU. I pray that YOU prompt each of these leaders to respond quickly to their constituents and to remind their staffs to respect each constituent since they are special to that leader.
I pray that YOU enable each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to remind our family, friends, and neighbors that they are special to us.
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.

COL Mikel Burroughs good read/share: for the Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day. Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THEIR EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICENT on this day April 18, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of May. As you know I would respond a lot throughout the week, but I am full-time DOD employee doing contracts for the Defense Contracting Management Agency. It is good to have sometime on the weekend before I start my running around to respond my friend.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs good morning. Yes, "Special Occasion Day" for me has always been to uplift or complement someone to make their particular day special, in the midst of a mundane, bad, or difficult time. Everyone, make a Special Occasion Day for someone, as your heart leads you.
