I remember that morning so clearly. I had just turned on the news and saw one of the towers at the World Trade Center on fire. Just moments later I watched in horror as a plane flew into the second tower. I quickly grabbed the phone to call my parents in Chicago and find out what was going on. The remainder of that awful day I sat stunned in front of my television trying to wrap my brain around how something like that could happen in our country. Terrorism against Americans overseas was and remains prevalent, but I think we had been living for too long with a bullet proof attitude that no one could ever pull off such a feat within our borders. Sadly, we were gravely mistaken.
Today, we remember all those innocents who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. My prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims, and those who tried to rescue them. I wish to thank all the men and women in our Armed Forces who continue to fight for our safety and freedom each day. This is something we should never take for granted because blood has been shed for each of us to live in peace. Remember today and every day to pray for God’s shield over our nation. As we continue to push Him out of every aspect of our lives we don’t deserve His protection from those who wish to destroy us. But for each day that passes without disaster I am thankful for His grace.
Thank you for reading and be well.
