In Rememberance…9-11

Today is a day to remember in our Country’s history.  I wish it had never happened. There are many events and actions after it that I wish had never happened.  With all that said, we are on this path and we can’t go back and change the past.  How do the events mold you?

9-11 was a tragic act of hate.  And though I am human and falter, I will always want to respond with love.

I have:

Love of those that have had to carry on without loved ones, regardless of country

Respect for our armed forces that continue to respond to keep us safe

Faith that our world can be a better place

Hope for our world’s future.

Hope, Faith, and Love, but the greatest of these is Love.  May we, but mostly I (since I can only answer for myself) not resist the changes that bring about Love. Perhaps one day all of the questions that abound will be answered. Until then, we choose our own response.

I remember and I choose peace and love. Today is a day of reflection…

“As long as there is anybody to care, to pray, to turn to God, to be willing to be el’s messenger even in unexpected ways, there is still hope.” – Madeleine L’Engle
