Where were you?
You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on Sept 11th 2001.
Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man that called His wife to say "goodbye". I held His fingers steady as He dialed. I gave Him the peace to say " Honey I'm not going to make it". I was with His wife when He called, I held Her up as she realized He wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a women cried out to me for help. " I have been knocking at the door of your heart for 50 years", I said.
I was at the base of the building with a priest that was minestring to the injured. I took Him home to tend to His flock in Heaven.
I was in all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer.
I was with the crew as they were overtaken.
I was with the very hearts of the frightened souls there, comforting, and assuring them that their faith has saved them.
I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all knew me.
Some met for the first time on the 86th floor.
Some sought me with their last breath.
Some choose for the final time to ignore me___ but I was there.
I did not place you in the towers that day. You may not know why, but I do.
September 11th 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday day your journey will end, and I will be there for you as well.
Seek me now while I may be found. For I will be in the stairwell___ of your final moment. Jesus.
