9/11

I have been watching the coverage all day.
Curled up on my couch, glued to the tv.
I can't believe it was ten years ago, I still remember that day so vividly.
I will never forget.

I find comfort and a helpful reminder in the words of President Monson-

"It is constancy that God would have from us. Tragedies are not merely opportunities to give Him a fleeting thought, or for momentary insight to His plan for our happiness. Destruction allows us to rebuild our lives in the way He teaches us, and to become something different than we were. We can make Him the center of our thoughts and His Son, Jesus Christ, the pattern for our behavior. We may not only find faith in God in our sorrow. We may also become faithful to Him in times of calm."
