9-11 Who are YOU Remembering today?

There have been many mentions and remembrances today of that horrible event 8 years ago. At our Wiscionsin Realtors Convention, we had a moment of silence. At our CRS luncheon there was a moment of slience.

I am sure most people were remembering those lost on that tragic day, lost in 3 different places, New York, Washington DC & Shanksville, PA.

I chose to remember and pray for those that were "left behind". Those that perished that day have found eternal peace, and those left behind have not. Many children were left mother or fatherless. Spouses were left single, some to raise children, some wives to raise a child that was to be born in the next few months. I thought of them

Also in my thoughts were those that survived, but barely..... I am sure they have not only physical scars, but huge emotional scars. Most likely those physical scars are barely visible, and while the emotional scars may be less visible, or invisible, they are there. They will always be there. The "what ifs", the "why me" or "why not me". Offhand I think of Greg & Lauren, who documented Laurens escape with her life in the gripping book "Love, Greg & Lauren". Lauren was walking into the Trade Center Lobby, when the first plane hit, and was blasted back out of the building through the shattering glass lobby. She hung onto life through months of medical care for burns she got that day. I wonder how they are doing.....

Those who live "farther away" from these events, don't remember daily, but we all remember today....what are you praying for today?
