I decided that the day cannot continue without my comment on the 9/11 attacks. I had dropped my oldest child at pre-school for the morning and my one-year-old and I went to my aunts house for a visit. When I got there she told me what had happened and while we were watching the TV we saw the second plane hit the towers. Until then I really didn't understand that we were under attack. I thought a plane got off course and hit the tower. We live in Georgia, far from New York, but I was immediately afraid. I didn't know if there would be other attacks or what to do. I ended up going to my mom's house and waiting for Ashley to get out of school. We then went home and I don't think the children and I went anywhere for about three days.
When I think about how frightened I was, I can't imagine how it was in New York for those people who had to live through that. The Lord helped many people get though those days and I am assuming he still is. I don't think you can live through an event like that and come out the same. Our county changed that day. I always wonder why some people are so full of hate, that they would die so that thousands of others could die. It is something I hope I never understand.
God was with us and those people who suffered. The attacks are the results of evil and not God. He has helped us though, and will continues to help us. He is the only one who can help.
I hope that you spent this day is church and praying. If you are not a Christian, then my hope is that you will find a church and see how much you need him. God is the only way to peace!
