Mowing the grass in Iraq

[marydmjj]

I got this e-mail today and my SIL reminded me to post it on the F&G Board - thanks Noodles!

Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq, stationed in a big sand box. He asked his wife to send him dirt (U.S. soil), fertilizer and some grass seeds so he can have the sweet aroma and feel the grass grow beneath his feet.

If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we take for granted.

Upon receiving this, please say a prayer for our soldiers that give and give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.

How very nice, a sweet green swath of home.

Thank you Mary, and Noodles, too!

OMG! Now you have me crying first thing in the a.m.

Thank you so much for sharing that touching picture and your thoughts about appreciating the small things in life we usually take for granted. You are SO right!

God Bless our soldiers everywhere!
