Day Eleven - A Day of Remembrance


Sometimes it's hard to put feelings into words.  There are thoughts and emotions flying around inside your brain, your heart,  and even in your gut.  And all you want to do is process them so that others may understand what is going on.  I have a feeling that for most of the people in our country, this is a perfect description of their day today.  Thoughts of lost ones flood the mind.  Memories of fear and hopelessness that came in a single moment of what started as a perfectly normal day.  Frustrations of people sharing their memories of 09/11/2001 who weren't there or didn't lose a loved one, and you lost your husband, wife, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister, best friend, and so on.  Tonight I pray for these people.  I don't know the pain of losing someone close to me like that.  I was in high school in KY on 9/11.  I honestly didn't even know what the World Trade Center was.  I don't want to share my memories of what was going on in my life at that point, when I know there are those out there grieving the lives that were taken fifteen years ago.  So, I'm going to wrap this up quickly with a couple simple statements.  Never forget and never give up.  Live like everything depends on you, but pray like everything depends on God.  Pray for those who persecute you.

I'll be back tomorrow to continue my blogging through my year of losing my butter half.
