I know we all can remember exactly where we were on this very day, 9-11-2001. We all stood in disbelief as the horrific attacks unfolded before our very eyes. This is a day, with graphic scenes, that will be etched in our minds for the rest of our life. Thousands of innocent people lost their lives that day due to a group of terrorists who had and have no respect for human life. How did this world get so evil?Last fall, I had the privilege of visiting the 9-11 Memorial in New York. It was a very sobering and emotional experience. As I touched the names of the individuals who had died in that very spot, I wondered about their lives and their families. Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins...and the list goes on and on. The lives of their families forever changed that day.
There are beautiful waterfalls surrounding the area where Tower I and Tower II , (Twin Towers) stood. The sound of the water is calm and soothing. The names of those who passed that day, are engraved around the perimeter of the falls. Each day, thousands visit the Memorial to pay their respect.May we always remember 9-11. May God fill the void of the those affected as only He can. Praying a special prayer today for the survivors and those that lost loved ones. May God wrap His arms around them and give them a peace that only He can supply.
