I received this from my brother, and wanted to share:
Subject: Brother's Day
To my brother's out there trying to win the battles . . .
Be the kind of man who, when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says, "Oh CRAP! He's UP!"
Brother, life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Love the ones who don't, just because you can.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Kiss slowly,
Forgive quickly.
God never said life would be easy. He just promised it would be worth it.
Today is Brothers Day, so send this to all your brothers, fathers, sons.
If you get back seven, you are loved.
Happy Brothers Day!
To the cool men who have touched my life . . . I LOVE YA, BROTHER!
Here's to you.
Send to anyone you consider "Brother."
My footnote:
Having served in the military a real connection grew withing the group we would spend most of our time with, it still exist many years later, even those who grouped with other soldiers. We all shared a common bond like no other, and as a unit we were family.
Individually we knew who was real, and had substance if an when the time came who we could count on, I guess this made the link.
Its not the uniform, its the person in the uniform, the real armor, on the outside we all kinda looked the same, but it was this that made us a band of brothers.
Its no different within the Christian brotherhood, the real substance is what lives in the heart and mind, and its this that makes the person, and what God acknowleges. He's given us a conscience "our inner self" to know the difference between right and wrong. Following the path of whats right keeps us balanced, and keeps it all real, it opens a many a window we can look thru so we can experience appreciation for the life given us.
