Remembering 7 years ago today!

There is not always a time in our lives that everyone can say I remember exactly what I was doing on such and such a date and at this time.

For me, my first remembrance was President Kennedy was shot. I was very young and in the second grade but I remember the day well as we learned about it in school and prayed. Then when my mom picked me up from school she was crying.

During the services that were held in honor of our President, neighbors came together at our home as we watched on TV the events of the day.

Other moments in the history of our great nation I remember are~

John Glenn being part of great strides in our space program.

The tragic assassination of Rev Martin Luther King. I had been at a school function and my dad came and picked me up early.

I remember one thing in common, great tragedy that brought our nation as a whole on our knees in prayer.

Seven years ago today, was no different in that fact, the tragedy that took place in our nation, brought us all together, regardless of our race, regardless of our beliefs, we were AMERICANS UNDER ATTACK. I was at work, a 911 center and we all sat in horror as many did that day as we watched the second jet plow into the tower. The phones went silent, then went wild and our lives were changed. Living and working very close to the Atlanta FAA building made our area a target. We were also Communications.

Many still have questions that will never be answered as many people do that have gone through a such a travesty. Many are still asking God, "why?". I don't think there is an answer other than there are evil people in this world. I do know this~

From Romans 8 ~

in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God is there always to help us more forward in all things. Our nation was founded on Godly principles and we have allowed others to strip these away from us, from our nation.

We must once again stand together in unity as a God fearing Nation and bring glory and honor back to God.

As you take time today in the 9:00 hour to remember those who unknowingly gave their lives, pray for their families remaining, pray for our nation, our government, pray for our leaders, our families, friends and neighbors. Pray for unity in spirit for our great country to stand together unity, as ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

Remembering always~
