Once again I will read the inspirational piece for the church service, this time, September 11. That is more challenging than the usual since it will be appropriate to say something uplifting that would also honor those families and friends who were intimately involved in that day and its horrors.

If you know of something I could read, even something you may write or have written, please send me a pm. All help from recommendations to material is appreciated. Thanks....dk

Dear Diane,

You are a much better writer than I. To express that day in words is impossible.

I was here on my farm, working with the plants, my daughter in law called me. I went in and turned on the television. All the air went out of me as I stood there and watched the towers fall.



There was nothing I could do.



I sat and cried.



I could not pray.



The deed was done, God had watched it all and did nothing.



Love,

Betty

Maybe surprise everyone by thanking God that it has not happened again and to give us all love for one another such that it will not be repeated again ever.

This is the poem I offered to Diane. I don't recall whether I've posted it here before, so here it is.

Great poem Al with much meaning.

I think 9/11 was a wake up call. Our sense of security was crushed. We learned that evil has no boundaries. Revenge may satisfy our desire for retribution, but it does not end the evil. Our quest should be to promote love, not hate.
The destruction of the towers cannot be undone. The positive side was seen in bringing people together. Neighbor helping neighbor. Worldwide expression of love and compassion.
