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.
