911DA Story: Story

I had just dropped off my daughter at school and was driving to work. I received a devestating phone call from one of my employees in Houston who was also driving to work. I turned on my radio and could not believe what had just happened. When I got to work, we got together and said some prayers for all the family and friends who were affected by the horrible tragedies. We turned on the television and just cried together. At lunch the local churchs had put together Memorial & Prayer Services so I attended one of those. At the end of the day our city had put together a prayer service and we went together to that service. When I picked up my daughter from school I could not stop hugging and kissing her, the same for my husband when I got home. That evening we prayed together as a family for our nation to be joined together, for healing to all those affected and for all Americans to seek to find God to be the center of their life. With God at our side, all things are possible.

God Bless America.
