In this day and age of minute to minute updates and changes, our "fast paced" lives are practically on "hyper-speed". I wanted to take a moment to remember lest we forget.
Ten years is a long time in light of events taking place, but the disaster and tragedy of 9/11 should always have a designated place in our memory banks, honoring the heroes, remembering those precious lives lost and keeping the meaning of the evil plot executed against our nation that day in the back of our minds, dare we grow pacifistic or become numb. Our country was formed upon a constitution which our forefathers wisely and carefully crafted which insures the basic freedoms that we enjoy everyday.
I am proud of our "One Nation Under God" and Sunday will prayerfully remember the families and the survivors that live with that vivid memory each day, those first responders: the firefighters, the emergency responders,
the policemen, the every American that heroically assisted and/or sacrificed themselves for the sake of human life and our Armed Forces and their families who proudly serve our country and fight for our continued freedom each and every day. We honor you all this day and always.
Life Is Precious
Life is so precious
And each day a gift
So enjoy every minute
As it were you last to live
Cherish your loved ones
Hug them tight
Share with them your heart
And your time
Nothing is forever
And life goes so fast
Each minute that passes
Is one you can’t get back
When troubles arrive
And knock you off your feet
Stand up and smile
And remember life is too sweet
Every morning when you wake,
Decide right from the start,
That “Today will be a good day”
And let it all in with an open heart
