~ ~ We Remember September 11th ~ ~

Over the last few days, we've been talking about September 11, 2001. We remember a lot from that day. Don was working in Frederick at the time and Christiana (3) and I were at home. Corinne (5th grade), Kendall (3rd grade), and Kimberly (1st grade) were all at school. I remember talking to my mom, who was just getting ready to leave N.Y. to come to our home for a visit. I remember taking Christiana over to Sue and Alan's while I ran to Safeway for all of us - for water... and then running over to pick up their kiddos and my girls from school. On our way home, a fighter jet was passing our neighborhood. He had been circling the 18 mile radius around the White House - right over our house. We could see him in the cockpit. By God's amazing grace, September 12th came ... we were all safe in our homes. Touched by the loss of life and the tragic events in New York, at the Pentagon and the crash sight of flight #93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, just 11 miles from where my dad's family still calls home.

So as we observe the seventh anniversary of September 11th, we're praying for comfort for all of those that lost a loved one that day. We are so grateful for and we are praying for those that have been protecting us from further attacks these last seven years, and for those that are serving our country today.

We are grateful."Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance." Psalm 33:12

"God alone is the judge of the hearts of men, and to him only in this case they are answerable."
George Washington, September 14, 1775
