911DA Story: Story
My morning was rather usual and began early by taking a walk with a neighbor around a few blocks to get some exercise. I came home just in time to be with my husband as he was getting ready to leave for work. Our phone rang and it was my friend to tell me to immediately turn on the TV and watch the news. She said that an explosion had hit one of the WTC towers in New York City and the Today show was televising the news of the building being hit.
My heart began to have a sinking feeling that we were under horrible attack and lots of people were going to be involved in the horror. As my mine was dealing with these thoughts, I saw the other plane going toward the second tower and saw the explosion as it hit the building. I knew, at that time, our country
would never be the same and we would never feel the freedom of protection that we have so taken for granted over my entire lifetime.
Through out this last year, I get up each morning and "thank" the Lord for his love and mercy over each us and for our great country that we live in. He is the true answer to our lives and each day is only on loan for us to use to glorify him. His love is sufficient and will carry us through the rest of time.
I pray that each of the people that have lost loved ones, lost jobs, lost places that were everyday parts of their lives. For the people that risked their lives to help others through these many minutes, days, and months, for Americans that have had to deal with this terrible mark on our country, I lift them
up in prayer and that God's healing hand will comfort their torn sprits, heal their broken hearts, and unite each of us together with a love that comes only from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
