WTC

Take Life For Granted?

Copyright (c) Sept. 2001 Debi Gentry

This morning when I woke up...

I stretched and yawned.

This morning when I woke up...

The sunshine was so beautiful.

The warmth on my face.... as I lifted the blind...

Just to be able to get out of bed....

To see another wonderful and beautiful morning that God has created.

The thoughts of my family...

My pets out side....

All the things I have to do today...

The people I will be seeing...

The dinner I need to get ready for this evening...

Cleaning up my house and welcoming everyone who comes.

Hope I didn’t forget any thing at the store....

it would be bad if I forgot to get the soda pop or enough chips....

Is my dress ironed without wrinkles and my shoes matching?

So many thoughts go through our minds each and every minute of the day.

Maybe before everyone gets here, I will start the plans for our next vacation...

Where will we go next year?

What will we want to see?

Will we have enough money saved up?

I want to start thinking about tomorrow before it gets here. Thats the American way!

But now..... I often wonder.....

What were the thoughts of the people at the WTC in New York...

And the people in the air craft that went down in PA... And Washington DC...?

And what were their plans later, on the day of Sept. 11th?

The Grand-mothers...

Grand-fathers...

Children....

Aunts...

Uncles...

Sisters...

Brothers...

Dads...

Moms....

Friends...

Were they thinking about life as it was........

As it was going to be for them when they got off the plane...... After they left their work place......

Do you think they ever thought this would happen to them?

The mothers and fathers that will never see thier children again.....
(on this earth)

Only the devastating "loss" that a parent could feel....

The sisters and brothers who lost a sibling......

The young child that will grow up without their birth dad or mom.....

Aunts and Uncles that will not have the time they could have had, had it not been for the tourist attacks.....

Friends......

friends who long to see their "friends" again....

Each lonely day and night that goes by......

Tears will run far beyond any amount of time counted....

The broken hearts and dreams....

Empty emotions....

Only filled with tears....

Meaning for time has grown so dim....

Our every day problems seem to have faded abit.....

They are no longer so big.....

And I think of all the complaints I speak......

THEN,

I stop and "think"

I THANK GOD FOR EVERY MINUTE OF TIME HE GIVES!

THIS MORNING I WOKE UP....

And as I Thanked God for the breath He gives.....

A very strong thought.....

Thoughts of God above.....

Looking at us.....

Such a Big God.....

Such a wonderful God....

Such a loving God....

And now......

Such a sad God!

The tears in His eyes for all the hurting people....

His arms are not shortened.......

He longs to hold each one close...

And keep them through this time in their lives...

To comfort beyond what a human can give....

Never forget God knows your pain right now.....

He knows your sorrows.....

Some times when we hurt so very bad.....

Just sitting at His feet....

Is all we can do!

When there is no words to speak.....

No feelings but tears to share....

No since out of anything seen....

No strength left at all....

Just sit at His feet!

He WILL give you the help you need!

And the strength!

JUST HOLD ON TO HIM!

And KNOW that there are MANY prayers ascending to heavens throne room for YOU at this very moment!

God bless All the hurting hearts out there!
