REMEMBERING 9/11

John 14:27; 16:33 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ... These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Dear Daily Thoughts fellows,

Soon after the horrid event I received the following from friend Carol, poetess.

Thank you Carol for eloquently expressing the heart of the matter.

Dear Christian Friends,

Let us pray for our nation today and always, comfort for families who lost loved ones on 9/11.  Also for soldiers who continue to fight the war of terror and for lives affected by soldiers who never make it home, all for our freedom.

God Bless America!
Carol

REMEMBERING 9/11

Taunting images of that horrid day
Changed Americans different ways
Children left without a dad or mom
All victims of deadly airplane bombs

Innocent people were doing daily tasks
Jolted by two separate airplane blasts
Panic and chaos filled Twin Towers
Many crying out to a Higher Power

Another plane crashed into the Pentagon
Casualties to employees was at minimum
Due to the area hit and rigid construction
Building did not sustain total destruction

In a final plane, passengers got involved
Bravely taking controls, target diverted
Crashing in a field, every life was gone
Still heroes in what they had jointly done

To all firefighters we owe deepest thanks
Risking their lives in rubble and planks
Cleanup efforts extended for many days
Terrorists did not take our freedom away

No easy solution will end ongoing war
Border security higher than ever before
Only Jesus will bring final world peace
When He returns, all violence will cease
