Hello Blogger world... Today is Sunday 2016 it is September 11th. I feel like I should have been in Church today to be with my Church Family on a such a day as today. A Day that should be a day that we never ever forget 911. I still can't bring myself to watch anything on tv about it for very long, it's just too much for me, it's too sad and frankly it should never have happened. I am so sorry for every single person that lost their lives in that horrible tragedy and for the families that should never have had to stand by watching unable to do a single thing about it. I still remember it like it was yesterday when I see those pictures pop up on the tv and I remember the morning I woke up, like it should have been a normal day, instead I found myself sitting on the couch watching it all unfold. I couldn't hardly believe what I was seeing. It was real and it was in fact happening. I still wish it were only a bad dream, or a movie but it wasn't a bad dream and it wasn't movie. It was happening in real time in real life. We face real terrors here on Earth and we face very real tragedies. This is not a perfect place to live. We certainly do face trials and tribulations, unfortunately. Like my Husband's Grandma once said, "This is not Heaven my dear." And she is right. It certainly isn't Heaven. We are all in living in this place together where we watch a heartbeat as it is being formed in it's Mother's womb and we watch that life being born and taking it's first breath of air and it's a beautiful thing. Life is a beautiful gift from God. And thank God that we have God to go to in the midst of our pain and in our loss. Loss is something that we can never ever get back in any form and nothing can replace the Loved ones that we have lost be it in the 911 tragedies that we faced together as a Nation or simply by any other way of loss be it a child in miscarriage or in an accident, we have all lost a loved one to death in one way shape or form be it a parent to old age or a child to drugs death comes for all of us.
Today I am home, appreciating my family. I am a First time Mom and honestly watching anything 911 still grips my heart and as I am now a Mom it affects me emotionally in a completely different way from when I was just a Daughter. I just can't imagine. Loss in any form or terror attack it's horrors are all the same. I just sit and watch what ever is on tv and it get's me every time. I just can't imagine saying good-bye to a loved one or being the loved on the other end listening, watching, hearing, it's all the same not a single way can be better then other. Perhaps one loss is a good-bye that the other person doesn't have to relive every single day because they are no longer here with us but then it would still hurt to be the one on the other end saying the last good-bye. I just can't even begin to take it all in. I couldn't imagine being on the other end knowing you will have to live with that good-bye loss the rest of your loss. Nothing, just nothing in the world can ever undo what has been done. Today is a day we will all never ever forget and should never ever forget. We especially should never ever forget the families that lost loved ones and continue to forever and on going send out our love and our support so that they will never ever be forgotten either. This land is our land, this land is their land, this is the land that we lost a great many wonderful families and loved ones. We can't ever let that go or forget who our enemies are and continue to defend our Great America from Enemies that would have her destroyed.
So here I am home and spending my day with my family. My Husband is watching the game with our son, our so I thought, because here he is and crawling into the kitchen. So much for the boys watching the game together. That's okay, I love seeing my son crawl around and be adventurous, which is one of the reasons I am rarely able to blog at all. Today I am trying my very best to be a great Mom and Wife to my family and to enjoy every day life and not take that for granted. It is so easy to take the lives we have been given for granted, even those very little or large things in life that we have been blessed with to enjoy.
If you have a roof over your head, you are blessed. If you have your head on a pillow, you are blessed. If you had the chance to feed your face today, you are blessed. If you can walk and talk and have a conversation with loved ones that you have, you are blessed and we should enjoy those little gift's in life that God has given us in the face of a fallen world that is constantly falling apart at the seems every single day. There is still beauty all around if you look for it and appreciate it in all those ways that we have been given, love, life, food and family and rest at the end of the day.
Motherhood can get tiring at times and sometimes a little overwhelming, especially when the house looks like it's been hit by a tornado at the end of the day. Some days my hair doesn't look like I just got it done at the beauty salon, but you know what, it's not that which is valuable, it's the sound of my son saying, "Daddy," and watching his smiles at he looks at his Dad that is a treasure. I may not always feel like a champion but at the end of the day it's my family that is and will always be my most treasured valuable in my life. They are the champions of my life. Today, remember 911 and the loved ones you do have near you and with you. Appreciate what God has given us as family, A Nation Under God and never ever forget the lives that were lost and the families that lost them. We remember you for always and forever.
