You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 2:3
While we would mostly like to avoid hardship, it is hardship that makes us most proud of our service. If a veteran can recall no hardship from their service, they probably think they somehow did it wrong or were cheated. In this world hardship seems to go with service of any type. This is not to say that service cannot be rewarding and even enjoyable at times. One way to gain reward from service is with a grateful heart. That isn't an easy thing to do. But who can help us with that? The One who saved us of course, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ!
And we also have the great privilege of praying one for another, what a loving service that is!
Happy Veterans Day! Thank you for allowing us to serve you.
