ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2022

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks,  and boring grays of your every day.

12 DAYS UNTIL FALL

Sunrise: 7:05 am

 Sunset: 7:44

Life is a special 

occasion!

Hallmark!

Today is the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance  Originally launched by the 911 nonprofit My GoodDeed in 2002. The day supports the tradition of engaging in charitable service as an annual tribute to the victims, survivors and those who offered their own service in response to the attacks on 9/11 .

Also called Patriot Day, today is a time to reflect and honor the memory of the 2977 killed in the attacks on September 11th, 2001.  In the United States the American flag is flown at half staff at the White House and all U.S. government buildings and establishments throughout the world.

A moment of silence is observed to correspond with the individual attacks, beginning at 8:46 am EST.  The time the first plane, American Airlines Flight 11, struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

Reflect, remember, and renew your pledge to honor those lives were forever changed on September 11th, 2001.  If someone in your life struggles with this day, offer your support.  To those fallen, and those who survive:  We will never forget.

If you cannot see the bright side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim the spirit of unity that followed.9/11.

President Barack Obama

 

For many years before 2001, this date was celebrated with great joy.  It’s the day I got married in 1965.  My oldest son and his wife also honored us by choosing this date as their own wedding date too.  So today I’ll be doing a lot of remembrance and reflection on all that has happened on this day.  

As usual it will be a quiet day here and I will problably be watching TV to see all the tributes to 911 going on around our country.  

I’m staying in and not going out today and will stream church services on line.  Rain has moved in here and it’s a good day to stay inside and keep dry .

I hope you all have  a RELAXING Sunday !
