NEVER FORGET 9-11

HELLO EVERYONE,IT IS A DAY OF REMEMBERANCE TODAY. AS YOU KNOW, 6 YEARS AGO TODAY , AMERICA WAS CHANGED FOREVER. DO YOU REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE WHEN YOU HEARD THE NEWS? FOR ME, I WAS STANDING IN THE KITCHEN MAKING BREAKFAST. FOR SOME REASON, I HAD GOTTEN UP EARLY THAT DAY, WHICH MOST OF YOU KNOW, IS VERY RARE FOR ME. MY MOTHER AND I WATCHED IN HORROR AS THE PLANES SLAMMED INTO THOSE BUILDINGS, THE SAME BUILDINGS I HAD BEEN IN JUST A FEW YEARS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS SO HORRIFYING TO WATCH THOSE BUILDINGS COLLASPE AND WE COULD NOT DO A THING BUT JUST WATCH. AFTER IT ALL HAPPENED, I BECAME MORE AWARE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE WORLD AND THANKFUL FOR SO MUCH THAT THE LORD HAS BLESSED ME WITH. ONE IS MY HERO, LIEUTINANT CHRIS WEAVER, OF GAFFNEY FIRE DEPARTMENT, MY HUSBAND. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AWARE OF WHAT HE DID FOR A LIVING, AND I KNEW OF THE MANY CALLS THAT HE HAD BEEN ON IN THE PAST, BUT I GUESS I BECAME MORE AWARE OF THE JOB HE HAD AND HIS LIFE THAT HE RISKS EVERYDAY TO HELP OTHERS.SO, TODAY I WANT TO REMEMBER ALL THE LIVES THAT WERE LOST ON THAT DAY, AND ALL THE INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT WAS COMING THAT MORNING AT 8:46 AM.MOST OF ALL, I WANT TO SEND A SALUTE AND SHOUT OUT TO CHRIS AND EVERYONE AT THE SURROUNDING FIRE DEPARTMENTS FOR RISKING THEIR LIVES EVERYDAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE ELSES LIVES. I LOVE THAT SONG, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE WORLD STOPPED TURNING? BY ALAN JACKSON. IT IS AWESOME. I HOPE YA HAVE A BLESSED EVENING WITH YOUR LOVED ONES. I LOVE YOU MY HERO!!!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE ON THAT DAY AND COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS FOR ALL THE LORD HAS DONE FOR YOU THIS WEEK!!
