The Eagle is Crying

The eagle is crying as she soars high above
Over a terrible tragedy on the land she loves.
Her heart is breaking over the tragedy of it all
A tear slips from her eye as the towers begin to fall.

Her people are screaming and running in fear
Searching and crying for loved ones held dear.
Cowardly demons streaking through the air
Taking many innocent lives without a single care.

The American flag stands tall and still flying
Looking forward to the day our eagle stops crying.

Our country suffered a horrible and horrendous attack. We are still shocked and angered by what has happened and feel nearly helpless at this point.

However, our nation still stands strong and there is indeed much we can do at this very moment.

I ask that we all fly our American flag, from our homes, from our businesses, from our cars and from our mailboxes. If you don't have one, please go get one.

Let the pictures the world sees of our country be not that of a whimpering, wounded nation licking its wounds, but that of a strong, and powerful nation of people who stand shoulder to shoulder with a single message...

That I AM AN AMERICAN...and we will not be defeated by these actions...that we will recover and recover quickly because we are a nation of strong people, standing ready in defense of our country.

Let the press photos show how the American people respond to these tragic events, not as fearful and horrified, but as the strong backbone of our nation...Let a sea of American flags speak what our hearts now feel.

May God always be with our nation and her people at this time and forever.

Over the last century the goverment has made a lot of attempts to take religion out of "goverment". I was very touched the night that all of congress stood on the steps and sang, "God Bless America". Maybe this is a step in the right direction!

The Book of Ecclesiastes Says: Chapter 3:1-8

To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die: a time to plant and a time to harvest:
A time to kill, and a time to heal:
A time to break down, and a time to build up:
A time to weep, and a time to laugh:
A time to mourn, and a time to dance:
A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together:
A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing:
A time to get and a time to lose:
A time to keep and a time to cast away:
A time to rip and a time to sew:
A time to keep silence and a time to speak:
A time to love and a time to hate:
A time of war, and a time of peace.

Here's another way of looking at this, from the eyes of a child.

This was drawn by a 12-year-old in Pennsylvania.

Let us continue to pray for our country, it's leaders, the victims and the families of the victims. There is an awesome harvest of souls right now, so let's get out there and witness!

If you cannot remember a time when you gave your heart to Jesus, please seek Him. If you seek Him, you will find Him. In fact, He'll probably send someone to you who will help you find Him. I will help you find Him. There are many others like myself who are also willing to help you find Him. Please seek Him today, don't wait any longer, tomorrow may be too late. Who knows how many people in the WTC or Pentagon may have said on Sunday, "I'll do it Wednesday." But Wednesday never came for them. Our lives are but a vapor, we are not promised tomorrow. Seek Him today.

Take Our Hand, Lord

Lord, take our hand and guide us each day,
If pain and sorrow comes our way,
Help us be strong and guide the way,
And help us cope, in Your name we pray.

Hope in the Harbor

She stood in the harbor's morning light
And saw the planes fly by.
She watched them plunge into towers of steel
As flames leaped toward the sky.

She listened through thunderous crashing & booms
And heard our people cry.
Yet, still, the Statue of Liberty
Held the symbol of freedom high.

We watch the story unfold on the news
As helpers continue to try;
We hope for the best as they struggle to dig
Before any survivors may die.

We listen to news anchors looking for details
Through hundreds of expert's eyes.
And, still, the Statue of Liberty
Holds the symbol of freedom high.

As we gather our children around us and listen
To questions of how and why,
As we ponder the reasons that they'll comprehend
And begin with a heavy sigh.

We can tell them the truth, that our comfort & strength
Come from knowing that God is nigh;
And that, still, the Statue of Liberty
Holds the symbol of freedom high.

From Me To You

The images that I witnessed on TV and newspapers, will remain with me forever, but that pales in comparison to the emotional scars of families who lost loved ones and friends. My heart thoughts and prayers are with each and every person involved in the tragedy as well as their family and friends.

God bless America in the time of need.
May God bless each and everyone of you.
Loads of love...huggies and smoochies,
Mary aka MIgirl
