Early Morning September 11th, 2001
Our Nation was struck by one of the worst
tragedys in American History
This horrifing Day will never be forgetten
it will change our lives forever
When 4 planes crashed 2 into our World Trade Center
One hitting 1st the North Tower and Then The South Tower
Then didn't think that was enough 3rd Plane Crashed
into our Pentengon and the 4th in Pennsylvania
My heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to all
who have been directly touched by this tragedy,
and their families
You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on
September 11, 2001. Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called
his wife to say "Goodbye." I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I
gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is
OK ... I am ready to go." I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand
his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help.
"I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said.
"Of course I will show you the way home - only believe on Me now."
I
was
at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured
and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven.
He
heard my voice and answered.
I was with the Firefighters, the Police Officers, the Emergency Workers. I was there, watching each brave step they took.
I was on all four of those planes, in
every
seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I
was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring
them that their faith has saved them.
I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you
heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though
not
all know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some
sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them
through the smoke and flames; "Come to Me...this way...take My hand."
Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.
I did
not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do.
However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you
have reached for Me?
September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey
for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you
as well.
Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you
know
you are "ready to go." I will be in the stairwell of your final
moments.
~~~ God ~~~

Light A Candle for Unity
Though Terrorists may have struck out at us,
let us come together and show our unity.
Let us show that though our arm may have been hurt
they can not dim the Heart of America which rages bright.
AMERICA CRIES
With tear stained faces, America cries....
For Every person lost and for each hero that dies....
After the smoke clears and all the dust has settled....
America still stands, despite all the debris and the metal....
As we rally together, United we stand....
Reaching out to a stranger and holding their hand....
With courage and faith- we shall not bend....
To the terrorist that have taken a family member or friend....
I have found that heroes aren't born- heroes are made....
Risking their lives in spite of being afraid....
We thank all the Rescue Workers for being so brave....
Running into a burning building, hoping to find a life to save....
To all those people who have lost someone they love......
May God be with you and send you blessings from above.
