When God created the military wife When God Created the Military Wife When the Lord was creating a military wife He ran into His sixth day of overtime. An angel appeared and said, "You're having a lot of trouble with this one. What's wrong with the standard model?" The Lord replied, "Have you seen the specs on this order? It has to be completely independent but must always be sponsored to get on a military installation. It must have the qualities of both mother and father during deployments, be a perfect host to 4 or 40, handle emergencies without an instruction manual, cope with flu and moves all around the world, have a kiss that cures anything from a 's bruised knee to a husband's weary days, have the patience of a saint when waiting for its mate to come home and, have six pairs of hands." The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands? No way." The Lord answered, "Don't worry; we will make other military wives to help. Besides, it's not the hands that are causing the problem, it's the heart. It must swell with pride, sustain the ache of numerous separations while remaining true, beat soundly even when it feels too tired to do so, be large enough to say 'I understand' when it doesn't, and say 'I love you', regardless. "Lord," said the angel, gently touching His sleeve. "Go to bed. You can finish it tomorrow." "I can't," said the Lord. "I'm so close to creating something quite unique. Already it can heal itself when sick, on a moment’s notice it will willingly embrace and feed total strangers who have been stranded during a PCS move and it can wave goodbye to its husband understanding why he had to leave." The angel circled the model of the military wife very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed. "But tough," the Lord said excitedly. "You cannot imagine what this being can do or endure." "Can it think?" asked the angel. "Can it think?! It can convert 1400 to 2 p.m.," replied the Lord. Finally the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek. "There's a leak," she said. "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model." It's not a leak," said the Lord. "It's a tear." "What's it for?" asked the angel. "It's for joy, sadness, pain, loneliness and pride." "You're a genius," said the angel. Looking at her somberly, the Lord replied, "I didn't put it there."  Born Again Christians only need to chew, It's those left behind that have to swallow it. |

God bless the good ones. Unfortunately, I've known a couple that were the opposite. They had the, "What about me?" syndrome. Nagging and stressing the man while he is on yet another tour in Iraq. Spending the money unwisely and mistreating the kids while doing nothing to maintain their own self worth. I know it bites to feel like a single mom for 15 months and then married again for 9 months and so on and so forth. But, I don't admire someone who does nothing positive for themselves or the family. I'm a single mom, so I can relate to the troubles, but get off the pity pot once in awhile and take the kids to the park or something.
