Thank you 9/11

Thank you 9/11

The challenge of this day is to remember. It is easy to remember where you were at, what you were doing, and what was happening. But can we look back and remember what we can be thankful for?

Thank you 9/11

Thank you for those that lost loved ones, your loss is great and I have prayed that time has taken the pain away, but others are reminded to be thankful for the loved ones we have around us now.

Thank you for the public servants of the police, fire department and many more that went out that day to do a job, which reminds us that the job they have is also a duty to us.

Thank you to those who started to search for survivors, which reminds us that when this country has a tragedy, all differences are put aside and we band together to help each other, Like “One Nation Under God.”

Thank you for reminding us that we live in a great country, that we have the freedom to have a different opinion than our neighbors and still live in peace.

Lamentations 3:21-23

Yet I called this to mind, and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
