WHEN  A SOLDIER COMES HOME



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.
