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

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, 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 know

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. However,

if you were 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.

 

Remember..I love you…

 

God
