September 11th

When I turned on the news this morning I realized what today's date was. The day that many of us will never forget.
I can remember the days events as though it were yesterday. I remember my young son being affected by the days events. At 3 years old Marcus Jr. had an awareness of this tragedy he was scared of planes for some time and when he saw a picture of a building he would ask "mommy is that the building the planes went into ?" I sit back today with sorrow in my heart because of the tragic events and I look at little Aaron who will only know it as history.

I'm thankful for Mary's blog that mentioned saying those three very important words to her dear son, "I love you" I thank Mary for reminding me of how important it is that we tell our loved one's how much we love them. Many of those who perished may not have heard those words before going off to work that morning.

Proverbs 27:1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

God has wisely kept us in the dark concerning future events, and reserved to himself the knowledge of them, as a flower of the crown, that he may train us up in a dependence upon himself and a continued readiness for every event.
- Matthew Henry
