An Empty House...and REMEMBERING 911

Yesterday Todd & Jenny closed on their new house in Tulsa and are moving in today (weather permitting...the movers will not move if it is raining which it is doing right now!)

They stayed with us a little over 6 weeks...now it is QUIET...we will miss those little feet running to us and those precious smiles, open arms, loving hugs and sweet goodnights. Oh, I must not forget...also the constant question from Abbigail..."Why, Why, Why?":):):)

Warren and I will now get back to our normalcy...whatever that is:) We do have a busy schedule over the next several weeks: RV Club campout this coming weekend, then leaving on the 20th for a week's vacation to Jackson, MS & Shreveport, LA to visit our precious mom's. My mother is 79 years young! Warren's mom is 90 years young! While in Jackson we will be staying with my brother and sweet sister in love. See you guys soon:)

I still have a few more photoshows and pics to share (in time), but for now I have a house to clean and get back into order!

And lest we forget...
REMEMBERING 911

'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'

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 to 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, Virginia, California, Michigan, Afghanistan.
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?

Sept. 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.
God

Our ONLY hope in this world is
JESUS CHRIST and His RIGHTEOUNESS!
