Remembering 9/11/2001

9/11/2001....a day that will never be forgotten. A day that wasn't suppose to happen. A day that took so many from their loved ones in just a heart beat. A day that made HEROS. A day that made all of us realize that we are not out of harms reach. A day that made even those that might not have done so in years, get down on their knees and pray. Pray for those lost. Pray for those that didn't think about themselves and ran into the buildings to rescue whomever they could. Pray for those injuried, physically and mentally. Pray for those families that would be touched by such a tragic event for a lifetime. Pray that GOD would provide strength and courage.

9/12/2001....a day that awoke a Nation. A Nation that would not be told that it is weak. A Nation that would hold it's head up high and take ACTION against those that harmed her. A Nation that realized so many souls were lost the day before but not in vain.....those SOULS brought a Nation back together. A Nation that would stand UNITED.

9/11/2011....a day ten years later. A day that upon rising, I went to my knees to say a prayer for all those lost, all those families and individuals affected, all those brave men and women that will always be a Hero, all those working on the memorial so it will never be forgotten.

Today started with a brilliant sun rise.....a sunrise that reminds me that there will always be a new day. The footprints remind me that we never walk alone.....no matter what happens.

Until next time.....my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

9/11 a day to NEVER forget....

Today is a day that most Americans reflect on with so many different emotions. I think a part of each one of us died on that day. I didn't know anyone personally in the towers but my heart ached for those that lost their lives that day as if I did. I think that horrible event made all of us connected. There were no strangers amongst us. People reaching out to help in what ever way they could....a city of heroes emerged. To the families that lives were changed forever on that day I send my thoughts and prayers, my hopes and longings that one day they will find peace in their lives. I know that they will never forget and I know the pain and loss will be with them always but I hope they know that they will never be alone. May today's memories of that day eight years ago not only remind us of the lives lost but of the Unity of a Nation that was reestablished...that we are not strangers to one another but connected and we should not let that connection be broken....that WE all stand side by side, eyes looking upward..not at what could bring us down but what could lift us up!!!!

A moment of silence, remembrance and pray to send to all the ones lost that day, to all the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, spouses and children left behind, to all the ones that didn't give up the search and to those that continue to keep our FREEdom free. May WE always REMEMBER 9/11. God Bless us and keep us and always walk beside us.
