As a third grader, I was in Ms. Seaton's Class. We were just getting ready for Math (I believe), when she came in with tears in her eyes. I would see one of the most devastating things in US history play over and over again on my TV screen. Almost 3,000 people lost their life. I wouldn't understand the impact this was having for many years.
Fathers, Mothers, Children, Nieces, Nephews, Aunts, Uncles, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Fiancés, Grandmas, Grandpas, Grandchildren; They never got to say goodbye or one last 'I love you'.
Remember that we need to remember the victims as well as honor the heroes. We also need to be praying for all the soldiers that are still fighting for our country. Also pray for our leaders. 1 Timothy 2:1-3 say, "The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live."
We will never forget.
