I hope the picture will go through for you - of this Australian Digger in Afghanistan with his tiny "plot" of grass in front of his tent. It's heartwarming!
Here is a soldier stationed in Afghanistan; posted to a big sand box. He asks his wife to send him dirt (Australian soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can smell the grass, and feel it grow beneath his feet. When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass in Australian soil - to bring them good luck.
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) so unselfishly for us.
You don't have to send this on, but gosh, who wouldn't?
