When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard....
...to listen to his son whine about being bored.
...to keep a straightface when people complain about potholes.
...to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard....
...to be understanding when someone complains about a bad night's sleep.
....to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.
...to control his frustration when his wife tells him he needs to drive more carefully.
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard ....
...to be grateful that he fights for freedom of speech.
...to be compassionate when someone complains about the quality of airport service.
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard....
...to keep from smiling when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.
...to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about what to wear in hot weather.
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard....
...to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.
...to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard....
...to be civil to people who complain their jobs are to hard.
...to just walk away when someone says they only get three weeks of vacation a year.
...to be happy for a friend's new hot tub.
When a soldi er comes home, he finds it hard....
...to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.
....not to punch a wall when someone s ays we should pull out immediately. One thing every soldier knows...
The only thing harder than being a Soldier...
... is loving one.
A gentle reminder to keep your life in perspective. Remember those who have given their lives and when you meet one of our returning soldiers, remember what they have been through for you. Show them compassion and tolerance.
"Lord, grant those who have given their lives for us a place by your side. For those in harms way hold them in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need."
"Amen."
