Before September 11, it seemed like the United States was
untouchable (other than a few wars that didn’t necessarily affect our land directly);
but that day we quickly learned we were not. Today we are paranoid. We turn on
one another because of a few events, like the twin towers being crashed into,
which people who follow the devil created.
But, at the same time, hope comes out of the ashes. We
band together after tragedy. Out of the ashes we become stronger. Every time tragedy
strikes we have a choice. That day we could’ve sat back and said we have been
beaten; or, we could rise up and help those in need. I’m proud to say we rose
up, banded together, and turned back to God.
There are a lot more tragedies happening in the world
today. We still have a choice. We can choose to sit back, give up, sulk, and
become bitter when bad things happen. Or, we can turn to God, trust him, band together,
and help one another.
On this day we remember September 11, 2001. We
remember those who lost their lives in the attack. We remember those who gave
their lives to save others or stop more attacks. And, we remember how we all
came together after this tragedy. We became stronger. We became A Nation Under
God again.
So, when tragedy strikes I want you to remember you have
a choice. You can become bitter or thank God for your blessings. You can turn
away from help or you can trust God. The next time something bad happens what
will you choose to do?
John 16:33, Psalm 34:18, Romans 12:19
