The Day Time Stood Still - 911

 

THEY RAISED THEIR GOLDEN GOBLETS

Innocent lambs led to slaughter,
A silver missile in the air,
Out of a clear, blue, cloudless sky,
Satan alone aware.

NOT TRUE!  God was standing in the wings,
He opened His arms ... WIDE!
He caught every falling soul,
Not a one escaped his eye!

Angels helped to carry them,

To their eternal home,
And the grandest welcome was prepared,
That heaven had ever known.

The banquet tables, laden,

Relatives gathered near

Bestowing hugs and kisses,

Crying "I am here, dear, over here."

They raised their golden goblets,

As together, they drank toasts,

"Hail to Jesus Christ, Our Lord,

The Most Heavenly of Hosts."

An evil turned into a blessing,

In a most amazing way,

Satan gained absolutely nothing,

And God saved every soul that day.

On Monday, there were people fighting

against praying in schools ...

On Tuesday, you would have been hard

pressed to find a school where someone

was not praying.

On Monday, there were people trying to separate
each other by race, sex, color and creed ...
 On Tuesday, they were all holding hands.
 On Monday, we thought that we were secure ...
On Tuesday, we learned better.
On Monday, we were talking about heroes as being athletes ...
On Tuesday, we relearned what real hero's meant.

On Monday, people went to work at the
world trade centers as usual ...
On Tuesday, they died.
On Monday, people were fighting the Ten
Commandments on government property ...
On Tuesday, the same people all said, "God help
us all," while thinking 'Thou shall not kill."
On Monday, people argued with their kids
about picking up their room ...
On Tuesday, the same people could not get home
fast enough to hug their kids.

On Monday, people picked up McDonald's for dinner ...
On Tuesday, they stayed home.
On Monday, people were upset that their dry cleaning
was not ready on time ...
On Tuesday, they were lining up to give blood for the dying.

On Tuesday, grief stricken, they sang 'God Bless America'.
  

On Monday, we worried about the traffic
and getting to work late ...
On Tuesday, we worried about a plane crashing
into our house or place of business.
On Monday, we were irritated that our rebate
checks had not arrived ...
On Tuesday, we saw people celebrating people
dying in the USA.
On Monday, some children had solid families ...
On Tuesday, they were orphans.

On Monday, the President was going to Florida
to read to children ...
On Tuesday, he returned to Washington to protect
our children.
On Monday, we emailed jokes ...
On Tuesday, we did not.

It is sadly ironic how it takes horrific events
to place things into perspective, but it has. 
The lessons learned this week, the things we have
taken for granted, the things that have been
forgotten or overlooked, hopefully will

never be forgotten again.
