Soldier's Lawn in Iraq

CAPTION: "Photo Courtesy of U.S. Army"

A soldier who was stationed in Iraq asked his wife to mail him some dirt, fertilizer and grass seeds so that he could grow some grass to remind him of home. As you can see in the photo, he is even mowing his newly planted lawn with a pair of scissors!

How fortunate we are to have beautiful grass, plantation, shelter, transportation, music, tasty food, friends and family and so much more all around us! Often we forget to appreciate what we have and focus on the things we don't have. We may even become resentful and frustrated as a result. Hopefully this photo will encourage us to think about the little things that we take for granted and to appreciate all of God's gifts to us. (James 1:17)
