 Have
You Forgotten?
 With
each passing anniversary, the events of 9/11 fade into
the shadows of our present reality. It’s easy to reason
in our minds that we must move on. Pausing to reflect
brings back a certain amount of pain and frustration.
However, there are aspects of that fateful day I hope
we’ll never forget.
I hope we’ll remember the vulnerability
we felt in the first few hours. Watching events unfold
one by one on live TV, we wondered what would happen
next. Our sense of security had been taken away. In
reality, we never know what tomorrow holds. Today is
the day to prepare for eternity (James 4:14).
Another aspect of
9/11 we need to recall and reclaim is the unity we had
in crying out to God. Congressmen were on the front
steps of the Capitol singing “God Bless America.”
Churches of all denominations were praying. Prayers
were offered in public settings where they had
previously been silenced.
God
listened as our nation asked for His comfort. Don’t
forget. |
