Today, as we remember lives lost 25 years ago, and the bravery of those who responded, and the many who died from 9/11 related illnesses…let us remember to embrace life and all that is precious. Let us not take for granted this gift of life and grace.
Be kind to your neighbors. Show love. Show kindness.
Let us live into the slogan we see on some t-shirts:
Human. Kind. Be both.
If you are inclined to pray, we lift up these words:
God our comforter, you are a refuge and a strength for us, a helper close at hand in times of distress. Enable us so to hear the words of faith that our fear is dispelled, our loneliness eased, our anxiety calmed, and our hope reawakened. May your Holy Spirit lift us above our sorrow to the peace and light of your constant love; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
Amen.
