Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
Chaplain Dayne Nix
Saying good-bye is never easy. As a mili-
tary brat and a career Marine Corps and
Navy Man, I have said my share of good-
byes. I know I am not alone in that expe-
rience everyone of us is saying good-bye.
Most have already sent their family mem-
bers ahead. Some are heading to sea-duty,
with the prospect of long family separa-
tions. Others are heading to the desert and
the dangers we face there.
Psychologists tell us that the military
experience is a mixed blessing for our chil-
dren. Military “brats” have seen the world,
usually make friends quickly and adapt to
new situations.
They are usually very flexible, knowing
that “things change” and that there is noth-
ing we can do about it, so we might as well
make the best of the adventure.
On the down side, since many of our
relationships are short term, friendships
may tend to be rather shallow, reflecting
a hesitance to invest wat is necessary for
a deep and meaningful relationship since
we know they will end in one, two or three
years.
These characteristics make military peo-
ple some of the most interesting people in
the world!!
In the Bible, the great military leader
Joshua also had to say good-bye to those
who had followed him from desert into the
Promised Land. In his speech, he reminded
them of all that God had always done for
them.
He challenged them to live up to the moral
standard they had followed through all those
years.
In short he told them exactly what my dad
told me when I went off on my own for the
first time.
He said, “Remember who you are!” Live
according to the high standards you have
always followed. Joshua finished his speech
with the following words, “As for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord!”
Stirring words as we dwell in the midst of
change. Duty stations change. Friendships
change. I change (gray hair, no hair, etc.)
But there are some things that never do.
God’s love for us and his concern are
“anchors of hope” that enable us to stand
firm in the face of the gale force winds of
Iceland, or of life.
So this is good-bye, for now. But I am
sure we will meet again. When we do, we’ll
be able to reminisce on those great times in
Iceland: when the sun didn’t shine, the wind
blew all the time, and the rain was hori-
zontal, and the people were the best in the
world.
“Lord, Lift us on eagle’s wings to soar
upon the turbulent winds of life, guide us as
we travel highways and byways of this wide
globe, and anchor us always in thy eternal
love.” Amen.
