Today's Message is: "Strong Day!" Why Not?

The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Good “Sunday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 5 June 2022!


Today’s Message is: “Strong Day!” Why Not?


“What does strong leadership really entail? Strong leaders lead from the front, but they not only lead the way but show the way — we call that ‘leading by example.’ Strong leaders connect a team together by vision, purpose, and effective communication. They are constantly encouraging growth, motivating, and inspiring the team. They will challenge the team to have the strength to stand on their own, be creative, and become the future leaders and problem solvers. Can you set the tone and have a positive attitude to be a strong leader?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Today’s topic in the devotional is Courage and the Dog Soldier. I found it interesting and, in my opinion relevant to VFV. I hope that you may agree with me. Have a blessed day today and always.

A strong leader is also a forgiving leader! Something today's politicians should learn.
