Remembering....

I think when anyone mentions

the date, September 11th, our minds

automatically go to where we were

the day the towers were hit.

 

I wanted to make sure and acknowledge today.

Not knowing for sure how to a group

of 3, 4 and 5 year olds.

 

I found a neat little cartoon video that actually

gave that day's events in a kid like way.

So, if they come home with lots of questions,

that is why.

 

I made sure and focused on the bright aspect of it,

if you even can.

I told them that we are safe and we live in

the greatest country on earth.

We are safe because of our soldiers that fight

for our safety.

 

How lucky are we?

Knowing soldiers, personally,

that fought for our country......

for us,

is hard for me to wrap MY head around,

much less a 3 or 4 year old.

Why would someone do that for US?

 

I just encouraged them to know that

there are people that love us and our country

that have never even met us.

Very brave people.

We should be super thankful for those people.

We said a prayer thanking God for

our troops and their safety and thanking

God for our country.

We also prayed for the families that were

effected by that day.

Maybe you should do the same?

 

After our little video,

we colored some special pages that

we are going to send to some special troops

to brighten their day.

The kids were super excited about that!

 

I am sure all of you are being reminded today.

In the midst of it,

try and remember that God has a plan

for all of us and our country.

Remember that His plan starts with

your VOTE this election.

Your vote is crucial to our future as a country.

Whichever way you vote,

JUST GO VOTE!

 

Each vote counts.

 

"For I know the plans I have for you,"

 declares the Lord,

"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future"

Jeremiah 29:11
