Remember.......

My Thought for this Day........And so we remember this day in 2001 with horror and disbelief and an overwhelming sadness at the evil that had sent its ugly tendrils of hate to our shores. And we still gaze at the images in shock and we wonder just how humans become so inhumane. And then we remember the need for touch; we remember the need we had to reach out to our friends and families and mostly our kids and even though we were sure our loved ones weren't in NYC or on an airplane, there was still that need to embrace. And then we remember the hour upon hour of televised visuals of trauma and shock and tragedy, and we had to come to grips that yes, this was happening in our country, on our land , among our homes. And then I'm afraid we forgot, and with that faded memory we forgot our pride, and selfishness and entitlement returned , and we became a part of the crumbling of The United States of America. And instead of embracing our differences and individualities, we point fingers, and throw stones and cover our glass houses with curtains thinking they will hide our greed and shame. But they don't. And today, we reel at the face of this once mighty nation, we weep at the violence and hate that overtakes our daily news. And sometimes, sadly, we shrug with indifference because, after all, it didn't happen to us. And the answer is so clear, and strong and visible. Yet, we refuse to see. Turn around America before it is too late. We are the people of the United States of America. Kneel and pray and then yield to His Might and His Grace and His Commandments. And with supplication we will surely rise again, we will cease to crumble like those towers and we will pass down a giant of a nation to those innocent ones who follow in our footsteps.
