CHAPTER 9, PAGE 11

Artist Unknown

God has given us life.

And God is here to help us

return to life when we have suffered.

God has given us a heart,

and God is here to help us feel once more.

God has given us a soul,

and God is here to help us soar once more.

God has given us courage,

and God is here to help us fight once more.

God has given us hope,

and God is here to help us dream once more.

God has given us this moment,

and God is here to help us

experience it in all its sacred glory.

Good Morning !

Today is a very solemn day as remember the terror of 911 and all those that perished in the attacks. All Americans are encouraged to fly the American flag today, Tuesday, September 11th and to join with President Bush and the nation in observing a moment of silence at 8:46 am, Eastern Daylight Time. I am praying for God's continued protection over our nation. May God bless and protect us all.

9/11 was and is a happy day in our family though. DS#1 and his wife are celebrating a wedding anniversary and 42 years ago I married the man that was definitely my better half. Life goes on and we cannot let tragedy overpower the celebrations in our lives.

Today is what is important and in remembering the sorrows of the past, may we be reminded of what is truly significant in our lives .

Thought For Today

I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:20-23

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
