Remembering 9-11-01

Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001. I was sitting in our living room. Drinking coffee. Watching The Today Show on NBC, channel 5. David was at work. That's what I was doing on 9/11. Wow! How awful! Tragic! Then, the second plane hit! Shock! Anger! Sadness! Not sure why I didn't immediately call David, but I just sat there. Glued to the television. Finally, I had to get out of the house, so I went walking in the neighborhood. Not much traffic. Guessed everyone else was glued to their televisions, too. One of the things that still touches me to this day is remembering all of the pictures of lost loved ones posted everywhere. People desperate for word about someone they loved. I was thankful all my loved ones were safe, but saddened that so many had died needlessly. I prayed that God would comfort them. I still pray that same prayer. Since 9-11... Ten years have gone by so fast and I'm thinking back, over all that has happened. Remembering those lost loved ones. Daddy. Feldon. Corwin. Granny Johnson. Billy. Many others... Remembering joys... such as when our grandchildren, Lindsay, Brayden and Shelby, were born... Being able to go on the four mission trips to Honduras and meeting so many sweet people there and sharing the Good News about Jesus with them. I thank God for my family, my church family, for friends, for all He has given me. I am truly blessed. Thank You, God!
