Reflections on the Yesteryears/months

So, unless you have been living under a rock for the past 11 years then you would realize the significance of today. For the people reading this blog, you realize that today marks the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and most of you can remember what was going through your head every single hour or minute or even second of the day. Some people remember every thing they did that day, what they ate for breakfast and so on and so forth. But for me, I remember very little. I know I was in Mrs. Harris' class, I think and she wasn't supposed to tell us I believe. And I didn't see a video until I got home. I kind of feel bad for not being able to say that I was glued to the TV and furious or sad. Because the truth is I don't remember what all was going through my mind.

However, I do know a very important truth because of this past year that is something that a lot of people struggle with when thinking of 9/11. And it's the simple truth that sometimes bad things happen to good people and not because God has forsaken them but because we live in a sin fallen world. God does promise that He loves us and will never leave us but even still we will have to trod through rough patches, or see loved ones venture through dark times but that is when we just need to cling to God and hold on tight.
