Remember

Remembering today....

Remembering that horrific, scary day 11 years ago....

Honoring those who lost their lives.....

Honoring those who continue serve our great nation.


I wanted to share with my readers my brother's facebook status this morning....

"Today is a day that changed many peoples life's! I can remember like yesterday the thought that came to mind when I seen what had just happen! I have been a lucky person to step on a battle field with many great soldiers, because of poor judgement of another man, some my friends, some my family, and some my brothers that where made from trust, honor, respect, and loyalty! Because of ones poor judgement I have seen, done, and been places no man, woman, or child should ever have too, and lost not only fellow Americans yet fellow soldiers! Which ways on my heart heavy everyday to know I'm safe and alive because of their sacrifices! I ask that today that you remember not only the people that we lost that day but also the ones we have lost defending the Americans from 9-11-01!"


May we always remember and honor those lost on 9-11 and those whom we have lost in defense of this nation.  Thankful to the brave men and women of this country who continue to sacrifice so much to serve and defend.  Thankful for my husband and my brother for their service in multiple deployments...their commitment will not be forgotten.

May God comfort all the victim's families today and may God Bless America!

Some thoughts today...

This morning, while having some quite time, this verse really stood out to me....

"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. " Romans 12:12

So, I broke it down a little bit in my thoughts and wanted to share....

Rejoice in hope -  be happy in our confidence, rejoice in our confident hope.  Hope - that is in the hope of eternal life - remember that right now is just temporary...this life is just temporary, but our confidence/trust can be placed in the eternal hope

be patient in tribulation -  tribulation = affliction - knowing that when I suffer as a Christian it is suffering for Christ's sake.  Being patient implies steadfastness - enduring all that may be appointed - trusting that in these life interruptions there is a purpose.

be constant in prayer -  it is important  (necessary) to be in a spirit of prayer.  Constant = persistent (keep on praying)


May this verse bring comfort to you as it has for me :)

This is my life verse...I have claimed it so often.  It touches my heart and brings such comfort and peace to me.  I have been clinging to it a lot over the last week.  I know and trust in the plan that the Lord has for our family...I may not understand and I may be going through a slew of emotions (from sad to angry) but I know that the Lord has great plans for us...and I am relying on that faith. 

I hope that this verse may bring comfort to you too in what ever your struggle or situation may be. :)
