Their Work Was Honorable - 9/11/01

19 years ago today, thousands of people went to work in NYC and never returned home. Thousands of people were working in The Twin Towers when they were attacked by 2 terrorist planes. Thousands of first responders, including Firefighters and Police Officers were doing their jobs, too. No matter what kind of work was being done that day, their work mattered to God.  I still remember the image of papers and dust floating through the air after the first tower came down. The papers represented hours and hours of work by thousands of people.  The dust represented remnants of the handiwork that had built the Twin Towers decades earlier.

Today we will continue to honor the fallen heroes. We will honor the thousands that died on 09/11/01 while on the job and the thousands more that have died doing their job to fight the enemy who dared to attack us on our own soil. All of the fallen heroes honored God with their work, because God gave them that work. To all who lost friends and relatives on 9/11 or in the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, God is here to heal your sorrow.  They were brave and honorable in their work and today we honor them.

We will never forget. We live in a nation blessed by God as a light to all nations. Light is a threat to darkness, and the darkness will not win.  Darkness will not win the fight for our country.  Darkness will not win the fight for significance in our work.  Darkness will not win the fight for your soul. The enemy of light has been defeated. Let’s be a light in our work.

We have much to thank God for this 09/11.

• For the memories that keep us vigilant, we thank God.

• For the work that we are given, we thank God.

• For Jesus we thank God most of all.

God Bless America and God bless you in your work
