Heavy is the head that gets berated from all sides.
It seems as if no matter what he does, there’s always
someone left unsatisfied. But it of no matter to him because
he never stops trying to do what’s right
regardless of the circumstances. You may not appreciate him
but someday when your kids are safer than they were yesterday
or when the criminal gets the punishment he deserves, you’ll realize
exactly what you had as gratitude manifests in full force.
I like the way this makes folks consider looking beyond the superficial. Too often we get caught up on the surface and refuse to see what is good for us for more than a moment.
