Thankful Thursday

This past weekend marked the 10th anniversary of the horrific acts of 9/11, and it made me do a lot of thinking. There are so many things to be thankful for in relation to these events. Here are a few of them...

* The trip to NYC with my sister in August of 2001, just weeks before the Twin Towers were hit and fell. It's what she wanted to do for her Senior trip. Many of our photos have the towers in the skyline. We never would have dreamed they would be gone soon after our visit.

* The heroes who risked and gave their lives so that others could go home and be with their families.

* The survivors who gave God the glory.

* God's protection of our nation. He is holding us in His hands, and I know it breaks His heart that so many still won't turn to Him.
