That September Day!!!

Wow, okay...I have no cutesy picture of my children today. I had quite an in depth conversation with my Dallin this morning. He woke up early and said to me..."Mom, do you know what today is?" I replied that I did. Dallin was only 18 months old, I was 8 months pregnant with Jentrie and I remember exactly where I was that day!!! Rhett and I had been trying to get Dallin to sleep in his own room before the baby came. (we spoiled him and he liked our room better) I had fallen asleep with Dallin that night (which wasn't hard being 8 mo. pregnant...I'd just sit and go to sleep) any way...Rhett comes flying in to Dallin's bedroom yelling that the towers are under attack. I was glued to any and every news station available, going back and forth in between commercials. In total SHOCK!! Being so grateful everyone I knew was NOT on any plane..and heart sick for those who were. Seven years...it seems like yesterday. A bit surreal. This is in honor of those lost that day, but to those who have lost and served everyday since...our military...sons and daughters, moms and dads, brothers and sisters....aunts, uncles, cousins, grandfathers & grandmothers....friends...who fight so that day won't happen again. This morning I was once again glued to Fox News, President Bush made a comment that because of the hard work and dedication of our military there has not been another attack on US ground in 2553 days....I hope and pray that number continues to rise. God Bless You All and God Bless The USA!
That September Day
Where were you when the world stopped turning
That September day,
Out in the yard with your wife and children
Or workin' on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock
At the sight of that black smoke risin' against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger and fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
Pray for the ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below
Did you burst out in pride for the Red, White and Blue
And the heroes who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters.
*I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some of the good things he gave us
And the greatest is Love.*
Where were you when the world stopped turning
That September day
Teachin' a class full of innocent children
Driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you lover her
Did you dust off that Bible at home
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not got to sleep
Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages
Did you speak to some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and by you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on 'I love Lucy' re-runs
Did you go to church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love..
*I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is Love!* (Alan Jackson)
God be with you!
