My feelings and thoughts on this 11th day of September, 2015 by Tom Beal
:
The entire world was impacted on this day 14 years ago. It still brings up deep & intense feelings & emotions for me even though I was in Charlotte, NC at the time. We all have emotional scars by witnessing and experiencing this day that will never be forgotten.
A) Posted this as a reply to a Facebook post earlier and felt compelled to share it with you here, as well:
“I salute our fallen hero’s and our current hero’s who to this day rush in to save lives when most people would run the opposite direction. Thank you to all of our upstanding Fire Fighters, EMT’s, and Police Officers and their supportive committed families. Also sending love and prayers to the 1st responders & civilian lives taken that day, and the pain, sorrow and loss their families had to endure.”
B) With tears streaming, thinking of those lost and the pain and suffering the families left behind have had to endure I wrote this prayer, which was posted on a popular Christian FB Group, also. If you recognize it from there, know I am the author, not plagiarizing.
“Lord, I still cannot make sense of this event from 14 years ago and trust in You and Your plan that I am not meant to have full understanding. I AM meant to have Faith in You. Father, help me grow in my Faith so I can trust you as Christ trusted you even while he was asking for this cup (Luke 22:42) to be taken from him, but continued and said, Your will not mine be done. Lord, help this world find peace, and help us individually find peace & comfort in You, Your Love, and Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen!”
Sending love & prayer to all the families of those we lost, and comfort to all around the globe who still are grieving or suffering. Lord, hear our prayers.
