The Colonel's Motivational/Inspirational Quotes and Message of the Day!
It is "Take a Rest Day", and that is what I hope to do this Sunday! More to follow... and here we go!\
"Sometimes we just need a mental vacation. Take a 15 minute break and start planning your next vacation." - Catherine Pulsifer
“No matter how strong or strong-willed you are, you cannot live a stressful, maxed-out life without that pace eventually biting you in the butt. It is necessary to take breaks, set parameters, and be kind to yourself if you want to continue making an impact in your little corner of the world.” ― Cynthia Mendenhall, author
"Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow." - Douglas Pagels
"Although it is important that we be productive citizens and put in time at work, maybe we need to respect the importance of leisure time and relaxation a little more." - Sage Wilcox, The 2-Hour Vacation
"It's very refreshing to go away and take a break, to clear your head, and just get into something else." - Francois Nars
"I've found that sometimes it is best to take a break by going for a walk, or take a coffee break. This break can help clear your mind and calm your anxiety. It is a time to let your mind go to zero by not thinking of the issue at hand." - Byron Pulsifer
I believe that it is clear and to cement that understanding, know that...
"Rest is important and creates a better leader and a better person. You’ve rested, you’ve got more patience, you listen better, you're open-minded, and there is less stress." — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I pray that each and every one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who is a parent or guardian is able to rest sufficiently especially those charged with raising infants and toddlers. I lift single-parents of infants and toddlers to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU motivate grandparents and other single parents to offer help, moral support, and adult conversation in person or telephonically. ‘Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much,’ [Ecclesiastes 5:12a ESV]
I pray for a sufficient increase of the fruit of the Spirit peace, patience, and faithfulness for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters dear LORD. Thank you, LORD for taking our burdens freely and enabling us to rest in YOU and lean on YOU for support for each of us. 'Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.’ [Matthew 11:28-30 ESV]
Thank you, LORD for YOUR perfect design of human beings. Although sin has infected creation, YOUR incarnation as the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, resulted in the sinless Jesus who became the Christ. YOUR atonement cleanses each adopted son and daughter of the guilt of sin and justifies each of us in YOUR scales of justice. ‘the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.’ [Romans 3:22-25 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.

Simple solutions to complex problems sometimes are the best ones. Work as much as needed, stop to play occasionally, eat but also fast (and rest your system) and rest your mind as well. Our systems work best when recharged and we do that through rest. Working all the time or failing to give your system a break leads to poor performance and breakdown. I found since making breakfast a real break fast (after 12 hours of no food) puts my blood sugar right where it belongs. Are you giving yourself sufficient rest in all needful ways?

I'll share this quote. Stay safe and vigilant brothers and sisters.
“Take rest day is important for everyone to recharge and reenergize the mind and body. We can get wrapped in a lot of projects, work, and supporting others as well as our families. We need to take time for ourselves to replenish, so that leads me to this quote…
‘If you get tired, learn to rest, not quit.’ – Unknown Author
May you know when enough is enough to take rest and get back to 150%; 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. Take time to unplug and give your mind, body, and soul a rest.” – COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
