Jan. 28, 2007: Mowing the grass

Army soldier with his tiny "plot" of grass in front of his tent

He asked his wife to send him dirt (Canadian soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he could have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass 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 and the Canadian soil - to bring them good luck. .... He is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors.

Say a prayer for our Canadian soldiers who give and give (and give up) so unselfishly for others.

Thanks to a friend.
