Loading...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.
