Day 34: Military

I have in-laws in the military, friends in the military, and my brother recently joined the Army National Guard. They, and SO many others, do a job most of us have no calling to do. Oprah did an episode recently where she had Michelle Obama on and other special guests, and they were talking about the military. It touched on how military families don’t ask for help, and how those serving worry constantly about their families back home. Selfishly, I’m glad Andrew and I aren’t military people. I cannot imagine being away from each other, or one of us being away from our future children. There are millions of others like us, who don’t want to serve. But I have a DEEP respect for those that DO serve our country. When we are at church and the part of the service comes where you can offer your prayers silently or aloud for those in need, I mention those in the military. They make sacrifices for me, Andrew, and millions of Americans everyday. I am extremely grateful for that.
