Hard to Forget but Painful to Remember.

So I'm pretty sure that everyone knows what today is.

It's a pretty significant day. 

Today is the 10 year anniversary of 9-11. 

It's so crazy it's been TEN years.

Part of me feels like it was just yesterday when I walked into my 5th grade P.E. class and was shocked by what I saw on the TV. 

But then part of me doesn't really remember a time before this.

I guess that comes with me being fairly young when it happened. 

But I feel like it also comes from just how drastic things changed.

No longer are airplanes and airports fun.

No longer are concerts and sporting events simple and easy.

No longer does our nation feel safe.

I think that was the big kicker. 

America has been in a fair share of wars, but for the most part they've all been fought outside of our borders.

With the exception of Pearl Harbor, we hadn't ever had a major attack against us like that.

So for me it's important to remember today.

Today is a day that marks a HUGE change in our nation.

Today is the day that someone attacked Us.

Today is the day that terror entered our lives.

Today is the day that My country was threatened.

Today is the day that My people were killed. 

Today is the day that changed America.

Today is the anniversary of 9-11.

And sometimes I think people want to forget, because today hurts.

Today is a sad day.

No question about that. 

But we can't forget. 

We have to remember.

We have to remember the fallen.

We have to remember the heros.

We have to remember the hurt.

When we forget that's when history starts to repeat itself.

And I don't know about you, but I want to make sure that NEVER happens.

So today is a day that is hard to forget, but painful to remember. 

But this day gives me hope.

Hope in an Almighty God.

Hope that He has this all under His control.

Because yes today is a day that has shaped our nation.

But it is also a day that brought this nation together.

Today is a day that showed us the pure evil that is within man.

Today is a day that made us cry out to the Lord.

And we better keep on cryin.

Even though it's ten years later, the pain and hurt are still there and the threats are real.

This nation has to make a bold move back to the Lord or we are headed for ruin.

The Lord is the only thing that can save us.

He is the only thing that can protect us.

He is it. 

And we as a nation need to realize that.
