On this 23rd Anniversary of September 11th, it is so important for us to remember again all those who lost their lives and the words that were written soon after this horrific event. They still very much apply to our lives today —
On Monday, we e-mailed jokes.
On Tuesday, we did not.
On Monday, we were fussing about praying in school.
On Tuesday, we would have been hard pressed to find a school where someone was not praying.
On Monday, our heroes were athletes.
On Tuesday, we relearned who heroes are.
On Monday, there were people trying to separate us by race, sex, color, and creed.
On Tuesday, we were all holding hands.
On Monday, we were irritated that our rebate checks had not arrived.
On Tuesday, we gave money away gladly to people we had never met.
On Monday, we were upset that we had to wait 5 minutes in a fast food line.
On Tuesday, we stood in line for 3 to 5 hours to give blood for the dying.
On Monday, we argued with our kids to clean up their rooms.
On Tuesday, we couldn’t get home fast enough to hug our kids.
On Monday, we went to work as usual.
On Tuesday, we went to work, but some of us didn’t come home.
On Monday, we had families.
On Tuesday, we had orphans.
On Monday, September 10th, life felt routine.
On Tuesday, September 11th, it did not.
What a difference a day makes.
In YOUR own life, how has a particular day made a real difference in how YOU see others and in how You see yourself?
JESUS DOESN’T ONLY LOVE YOU. HE LOVES EVERYONE YOU KNOW. TREAT THEM WELL!!
Say a special prayer on this September 11th and do share this Message.
