i was just a young girl when september 11th became September 11th. but i wanted to do something. i knew something earth-shattering had happened. i prayed. i made up my mind that whenever i looked at the clock and saw 9:11, it would be my reminder. i would stop and pray for the families of the victims and for the nation.
it's amazing how many times that has happened in the past 10 years.
10 years.
thank you, Lord, for preserving our nation.

That's a beautiful way to remember 9/11! I always notice when the clock says "9:11" but it always just makes me feel sad. I never thought to pray. I'm going to start doing that now!
I have to say something. I typically look the other way when others speak about god, but in this instance, I cannot. Religion was part of the reason for the 9/11 attack, and it's a big part of many of the wars in this World. To give all the credit to a being that one religion (out of the many, many there are) believes in seems awfully inconsiderate of the people of this country who personally go out and fight for our country and keep it safe.
thats a good idea - I am going to start doing that - today!
AMEN Summer.
My brother-in-law is a Marine currently serving overseas. I thank God that He is keeping our soldiers safe so that they can keep our country safe. I like your way of remembering. God bless America and those who died that day. Thank you for the beautiful reminder. Simple, but oh so sweet.

1 Corinthians 2:14
