Did September 11th bring back some memories for you? Were you able to stop and reflect just a little? Maybe you gave your kids an extra hug, or phoned a family member or friend just to say "Hi". It was a somber day for me. I was able to reflect about loved ones in my life that I have lost over the years. I thought most of the day about how something much like a terrorist came and stole someone I loved from me. The devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy. I beg you today, make Jesus your Lord. He has a great plan for your life.
Every member of your family is precious and don't ever take them for granted. Sometimes I want to shake people and scream, Wake Up, you may never see that loved one again. Tell them you love them. Wrap your arms around them. Stop fighting over petty things that in a hundred years will never matter. Stop for one second and get out of your flesh and your fleshly desires and realize that there is something bigger than you and it's worth fighting for. Save your marriage, forgive your family member, call your mother, etc.
If you had been in my shoes on November 7th, 2006 for only 3 seconds, I promise you would think a little bit longer before making awful decisions. You would hug a little longer and a little tighter. You would say I love you a lot more and mean it.. I love you too would not just be a response that you half heartily give out of habit. If not for the Holy Spirit in my life, I shutter to think what kind of shape I would be in today. Let Him do a work in your situation today... trust me, it's not as bad as you think it is!!!! I promise.

From My House to Yours,
