My name is Stephanie, and on that tragic day I was home alone, it was my day off and my children were at school and my husband was at work. When I was watching TV I couldn't beleive what I was seeing. It was the saddest moment of my life. But I also saw some wonderful miricales happen in the following minutes and hours, Americans pulling together to save lives,I saw a plane hit the twin towers, if it would have been minutes later hundreds more would have been in the building, I saw God's awesome hand hold up 2 buildings that should have fallen down on impact.I heard of a plane go down in a rural area of PA, a plane many now know was headed for a more populated area. I saw strangers helping out other strangers. I heard of many, countless hero's. These men and women, the hero's, helped our nation get back on it's feet. I saw more people coming to churches and praying, American Flags flying in almost ever home and on thousands of cars,in windows & office buildings etc.
This is the one year anniversary of that cowardly attact, I still see stangers helping strangers, I still see hero's keeping America on it's feet. I see God's awesome power and grace helping us face one more day, one day at a time.
Please remember all the fallen hero's in your prayers tonight, remember their families. Remember to pray for the stranger that helped you out today. We will not let the terrorist win, we are American's and so proud of it!
May prayer is ...
God Bless this wonderful country and the people who live here. Lord help us each day to be more Christ like and show our love to our neighbors. Help us to become one nation, one nation under God!
Lord I ask this in Jesus name!
