The Colonel's Motivational/Innspirational Quotes and Message of the Day & Week!

Thanks Sgt (Join to see) for watching out for me today and all the great quotes... beautiful day here in Castle Rokc, CO...

“We are hit with some may negative things in our lives, whether it’s the media, something in the community, or some individual bringing us down with negativity. We need to ‘Rise above’ that and learn to be optimistic and positive through all the fog of negativity surrounding us in the world today. That led me to this quote…

‘Rise above the Negative. Stay Positive. Be thankful. Hug your kids. Smile. Lend a hand. Know your why. Have Fun.’ — Unknown Author

May you find a way to rise above when the need arises a any given moment in your life; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Saturday’s Topic: "Standing Firm on Solid Ground!"

Great Helen Keller quote. Gloomy down here so far.

I expect you treat each person you meet, interact with, or come across respectfully. No doubt those who look to you for leadership, advice and/or comfort appreciate your candor, trustworthiness, and ease of communicating with you especially in unexpected circumstances and situations. I expect that you demonstrate calmness in crises and your ability to be calm helps others to be calm. Let YOUR love cleanse each of us and YOUR peace empower us to bring calm into crises and areas of turmoil. 'Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.' [John 14:27 ESV] my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).

I pray for good judgement, logical reasoning, and hope in YOU dear LORD for each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads or listens to this prayer and sufficient replenishment of the fruit of the Spirit faithfulness and self-control. I expect you intend to be truthful each day and you put a lot of effort into being true to your word each day. Hopefully your relationship with family and friends will continue to blossom and bear abiding fruit for time and eternity. LORD, I thank YOU for using each of us to establish/reestablish reconciliation between estranged friends, family members and coworkers. 'But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.' [James 3:17-18 NIV]
I lift service members and veterans with bad memories including nightmares of being deployed to sandy areas of the world including southwest Asia and swamps and jungles including southeast Asia. LORD I pray that YOU deliver those with repetitive nightmares and enable them each to sleep peacefully. ‘Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.’ [Proverbs 3:23-24 ESV]
I lift the humble, the honest, the widows, the widowers, the outcasts of society and the homeless to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU bless each with a large measure of love tonight. Protect each one from the elements and those who wish to harm them. Give them eyes to see and ears to hear what they need to do to keep them safe and secure. ‘But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him’ [1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV]
I am beyond grateful that YOU are incomplete control of all that we go through in life. YOU use everything we go through individually and corporately to bless us in YOUR perfect timing through YOUR perfect methods. YOU know what we need and YOU ensure we each receive what we need including admonishment and discipline. ‘And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.’ [Romans 8:27-28 ESV]
I expect you intend to be truthful each day and you put a lot of effort into being true to your word to your word each day. Hopefully you recognize that intentions rarely if ever are fulfilled as intended. No doubt you understand the word of God is true in every sense. ‘If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.’ [1 John 1:8,10 ESV]
I thank YOU LORD for sanctifying the soul of each of us. YOU guide us step by step throughout our life on this earth. You prepare us through challenges and trials as YOU mature us in YOUR perfect timing. YOUR selfless and sacrificial love for each of us is beyond wonderful to experience. 'For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.' [Ephesians 2:10 ESV]
I pray LORD that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer understands and heeds the admonition of the LORD
c. Proverbs 24:15-16 ESV 'Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous; do no violence to his home; for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.’
d. Ephesians 5:13-16 ESV “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.’
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Friday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

So absolutely true and thank you for the mention.
