Just a little something I got in my inbox this morning. Maybe I'm biased (I come from a military family) but whether you agree with the war or not, everyone should honour and respect the men and women who go out there and fight for us. It's been 8 years since September 11th, the start of a terror campaign that shocked the world, and it's been 4 years since the July bombings in the UK.Obviously, we are all guilty of the below email but spare a thought for our boys and girls in your prayers tonight, please.
WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME
This email is being circulated around the world - please keep it going
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard....
..to listen to his son whine about being bored.
.....to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.
...to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.
...to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.
..to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.
...to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.
..to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.
....to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.
....to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.
....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.
.....to be civil to people who complain about their jobs
....to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.
....to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.
The only thing harder than being a Soldier..
Is loving one.
I was asked to pass this on and I will gladly do so,
Will you???
