“Wishing all the great Mothers out there a wonderful Mother’s Day!” – COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
Today’s Message is: “Listen Day!” Why Not?
“How important is it for a leader to listen? Leading by wandering around and listening to what people have to say or think is a great way to learn from those around us and the climate and culture of the organization. Listening gives a leader perspective and knowledge. Always be open to feedback and ideas from your team. This shows that you care, you want to learn, and be more effective as a leader. Listen before you speak, you may be surprised about what you learn and hear!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have a very strong desire to listen to my Creator God, every day. I want to learn what He desires of me. I try to do that when I pray to Him. We can hear a response in our conscience, if we truly try to listen. It does take time and the answers may not come in our desired time, because God’s timing is perfect. If we can begin to try to listen to others as well, we may find that ability is within us. Have blessed day today and always.

Good Sunday afternoon Colonel.
Despite all the modern technology advances that make communications easier, listening seems to becoming a lost art.
