Perspective

Perspective: Earlier today I saw a little boy, who was very sick at school. I called his mother to pick him up and she said it would be two hours before she could get him, even though she worked 15 minutes away. Frustrated… thinking what could take you TWO HOURS to pick up your SICK BABY?! As the mom got off the phone, she quietly explained that a fallen soldier was being brought home today, and she would need to be there. As I care for this sweet boy, I think of his mother—and the sadness she will endure today. And I think of that family waiting on the flight line at Hurlburt Field. Their sorrow and their pain. And I just pray. Thankful for those that serve. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
