Remember...........I Love You

MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL 

You say you will never forget where
you were when you heard the news on September 11, 2001.

Neither will I

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." 

I held his fingers steady as he dialed.

I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go."

I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. 

I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. 

"I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50
years!" I said. 

"Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. 

I took him home to tend to his flock in Heaven. 

He heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. 

I was with the crew as they were overtaken. 

I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and
assuring them that their faith has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, and London.

I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.

Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. 

I knew every name - though not all knew Me.

Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.

Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; 

"Come to Me...
this way... take my hand." 

Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.

But, I was there.

I did not place you in the tower that day. 

You may not know why, but I do. 

But if you had been there in that explosive moment in time
would you have reached for Me?

September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. 

But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well.

Seek Me now while I may be found.

Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go."

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

GOD OUR FATHER


Our Father who are in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom Come,
Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power
and the glory, now and forever.... Amen.

Can't say it much better than this, can I?

I Come Alone 

As I drew in my first breath of life
Being born into this world
That day so long ago
I come alone

As a small child saying "good night" prayers,
under the watchful eyes of my Mother
Kneeling there beside my bed
I come alone

Through my adolescent years
As I grew and I learned
When things went wrong
It was to You I turned
I come alone

When in my teens and my eyes were opened
Fully realizing I needed You in my life
guiding and directing
I knelt and asked for "forgiveness"
Surrendering my heart
I come alone

Through my times of sorrow
Through my times of pain
And I felt so lost and alone
When the storms were all about
Again I knelt down on my knees
I come alone

When the burdens in life seem heavy
And my path seems so unclear
For answers to my problems
I need to feel You near
So once again I kneel to pray
Calling out Your name
I come alone

Though I've been blessed with a loving family
And many wonderful, caring friends
Their concern and kind words mean much
Ultimately, it is to You I turn in my darkest hours
Whispering, please Lord help me
Show me the way
I come alone

When my time on this earth is through
When I'm coming home to You
I want to have no regrets
I want to be settled in my heart
I don't want to look back
I want my eyes fixed on You
I come alone

Author unknown......thank you Barbara

JESUS HELP ME" - The Faith of Todd Beamer

"I don't think we're going to get out of this thing. I'm going to have to go out on faith."
It was the voice of Todd Beamer, the passenger -- and Wheaton College graduate -- who said "Let's roll" as he led the charge against the terrorists who had hijacked United Flight 93, the one, you will remember, that crashed in the Pennsylvania
countryside. The whole world knows how brave Beamer and his fellow passengers were on September 11. But this week we learned more fully what buttressed that bravery: Faith in Jesus Christ. Todd died as he lived, a faithful evangelical believer.
In an article titled "The Real Story of Flight 93," Newsweek reveals gripping new details from the actual transcripts of the now recovered cockpit voice recorder. "Todd had been afraid," Newsweek relates. "More than once, he cried out for his Savior."
After passengers were herded to the back of the jet, Beamer called the GTE Customer Center in Oakbrook, Illinois. He told supervisor Lisa Jefferson about the hijacking. The passengers were planning to jump the terrorists, he said. And then he asked her to pray with him.
As Newsweek relates, "Beamer kept a Lord's Prayer bookmark in his Tom Clancy novel, but he didn't need any prompting. He began to recite the ancient litany, and Jefferson joined him: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."
As they finished, Beamer added, "Jesus, help me." And then, Beamer and his fellow passengers prayed a prayer that has comforted millions down through the centuries -- the prayer that David wrote in a time of great anguish: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want . . Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
And then the famous last words: "Are you guy ready? Let's roll."
We now know from the cockpit voice recorder that Beamer and other passengers wrestled with the hijackers and forced the plane to crash into the ground, killing themselves but foiling what was believed to have been the hijackers' plan to fly Flight 93 into the Capitol or the White House.
As Christians, we know that God can bring good out of evil. In Todd Beamer, the world witnesses a faith that held up in the extremity of fear. A faith that is even now comforting his widow and two young sons.
Lisa Beamer told NBC's Dateline, "You know, in the Lord's Prayer, it asks us to forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." As Todd prayed this prayer in the last moments of his life, in a way, Lisa said, "He was forgiving those people for what they were doing, the most horrible thing you could ever do to someone.
It wasn't Todd Beamer's job to fight terrorists. He was just a passenger who along with several others did what he didn't have to do but foiled a terrible evil that might have been done to his country.
As Flight 93 hurtled towards destruction, Todd Beamer could not have known that his quiet prayers would ultimately be heard by millions -- that the story of his last acts on earth would be a witness to the Lord he loved and served and a lasting example of true heroism.
