To Those That Died- 9/11

Amber walked over to Sara one afternoon with a slight spring in her step. She was tired of hiding from people. Sara approached her with tears running down her face. "What is it, Sara?" Amber asked. "Do you know what day it is?" Then Amber knew the reason for feeling sad. It was the 10th Anniversary of the people who died in the terrorist attack 9/11. Amber felt her heart go out to them, what if it were her in the World Trade Center, trapped in the flames. A tear rolled down her cheek. Sara said, " What scares me the most if it was me on that plane in front of all those terrified people." Sara couldn't hold it back anymore, she sobbed. Amber didn't know what to say, except, " Sara, if you believe in Christ then don't you think everyone on the plane will be in heaven". Sara had a surprised look on her face. She never heard those words spoken before. "Your right, They're still alive!"  But something in Amber awakened her to the fact that those people died a horrible death even if they went to heaven. Their lives on earth were cut short. They could have had alot more missions to complete. Amber put herself in their shoes. It was terrible to imagine! " Sara, Do you think...they had angels with them... " Sara replied quickly, "Of coarse, every one has an angel- one for birth and another for..well...afterwards..." She cried again at the picture in her mind. Amber said, " Sara, listen, we can't forget what happened to them. We have to remember, always. Our time could come any day, we don't know it hear on earth, so lets cherish every moment we're alive".  " If not for ourselves, for them." Sara concluded. The two friends walked hand in hand. Amber was starting to realize things about herself she never thought of. There was alot to think about on this day of all days. Love for her family swelled beneath her heart. She knew that the angels were there during 9/11. They were always there though out any event in history, easing the pain people felt. Emily hovered over them, wings pointed skyward, as if conversing with the one and only God. She felt sadness too. She remembered the very day as if the memory was from yesterday. God bless these young ones I am here to protect from harm.
