Remember
I wanted to take a moment in my blog to dedicate a section to the events of 9/11. As we remember the victims and their families, and as we mourn a tragic day, I want to say a short prayer. In silence, I write this, somberly because of the lives lost and the terrible pain wrought upon so many people. Bitterly, because of the dreadful waste that it was. Joyfully, because of the new hope that sprang up within us and marches on to this day.
Lord, on this day, seven years to the date, I pray that you will comfort the families still mourning their losses. I pray that you will comfort the American people and provide hope once again. I pray that in silence, we will remember, that we will never forget. I pray that the candles be lit, and this day be a solemn one and, at the end of it, we stand back up, straighten our shoulders and continue on. I pray that we will never forget.
May we never forget. May we remain strong. May we move on in their memories.
God Bless America
