Never Forget

With all the craziness in the world, it seems that no matter what everyone has on their plates; today, September 11th, is day that everyone in America gathers together and remember the tragic day we all experienced 7yrs ago. Its weird to think 8 years ago is when all the craziness we are experiencing now started..and soon hopefully to be over with.

I got an amazing email from a number of people today titled: "Meet ME In the Stairwell" it made me think about all the people that were caught in the tragedy and lost in the rubble. People who might not have known God in that time of their life, but turned to him in the last moments of it. It amazing me at how many people might deny God throughout their whole lives, but when they have minuets or even seconds left in their lives they turn to him, and no matter what God listens. Please take a moment while reading this and take a moment of silence for those who we have lost and the families who have lost loved ones and especially for the soldiers who are fighting for our lives at this exact moment, and to never forget September 11th.

'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'

You say you will never forget where you were
when you heard the news On September 11, 2001 .
Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.'
I held his fingers steady as he dialed.
I gave him the peace to say,
'Honey, I am not going to make it,
but it is OK..I am ready to go.'

I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast
to their children. I held her up as she tried to
understand his words and as she realized
he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor
when a woman cried out to Me for help.
'I have been knocking on the door
of your heart for 50 years!' I said.
'Of course I will show you the way home -
only believe in Me now'

I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven.
He heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes,
in every seat, with every prayer.
I was with the crew as they were overtaken.
I was in the very hearts of the believers there,
comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.

I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face.
I knew every name - though not all know Me.
Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them
through the smoke and flames;
'Come to Me.. this way... take my hand.'
Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.

I did not place You in the Tower that day.
You may not know why, but I do.
However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time,
would you h ave reached for Me?

Sept. 11, 2001 , was not the end of the jo urney for you.
But someday your journey will end.
And I will be there for you as well.
Seek Me now while I may be found.
Then, at any moment, you know you are
'ready to go.'

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

God
