The difference in duty and love.

My cousin whose husband is deployed for a year posted this on her blog. She is a tough girl, and I pray for their family often. This also applies to me and any other girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband out there who spends most of your relationship apart from the one you love.

Lord, grant me

the greatness of heart to see,

the difference in duty

and his love for me.

Give me the understanding to know,

that when duty calls he must go.

Give me a task to do each day,

to fill the time when he is away.

And Lord when duty is far away,

please protect him, this I pray.

Amen.
