Never in my life would I have imagined having to make a page for this reason. The COWARDLY acts of September 11, 2001 will live in American's hearts forever as well as the citizens of many other nations. This page is dedicated to the many thousands who lost their lives, as well as to their family members and all others who were affected by this cowardly act.
Even though I am a Christian, I couldn't help wonder how God could allow something of this magnitude to happen. I received an email that helped put my concerns to rest. Maybe this can help you in some small way, as it did me.
For anyone who thinks that God was on vacation last Tuesday, this should change your mind. For those of you that know that God was busy on Tuesday, this will confirm it.
Dear Family and Friends,
I had a very dear friend question my faith in God right after the terrorist attack on America. Her question was simply put, "Where is your God today?" She was very hurt, as all Americans were, so I tried not to react defensively. Since that moment I have prayed and grieved over the disastrous events. However, I believe I have the answer. I know where my God was the morning of September 11, 2001! He was very busy.
First of all, he was trying to discourage anyone from taking this flight. Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard.
He was on 4 commercial flights giving terrified passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who was called by a loved one on one of the hijacked planes said that passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the flights He was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers.
He was busy trying to create obstacles for employees at the World Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings hold over 50,000 workers, this was a miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the WTC told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays?
He was holding up 2 - 110-story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't topple
when the jets impacted.
Although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I can see God's miracles in every bit of it. I keep thinking about my friend and praying for her every chance I have. I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in God. Life would be hopeless.
Thanks for letting me share this with you!
Below is a picture I received in yet another email. I do not know the artist, it was presented to me as being drawn by a school age child in Pennsylvania. Leave it to a child to get right to the heart of a matter.
