I just came back from a prayer vigil at my church. It did help a lot. I have some thoughts that I would like to share....
First of all, my heart is overflowing with grief and there is no room for anger or vengence. I hear so many people say that they are just so angry, how could this happen, why did this happen, we should just nuc 'em.... and on and on. That just weighs on my heart even more so. If they have faith in God then they are taking this into their own hands and being hypocritical. Justice will come to these people some day.
The people responsible got exactly what they wanted. The hijakers were on a suicide mission. If they would die just to harm Americans because of the hate in their hearts for us then what more could we do to them to make them pay? Nothing. There is not one thing on this earth, not any torture that would change the events of today or create fear in the hearts of those responsible. Their fate will be met....
In church we prayed, we prayed a lot and one thing that is soooooo important to remember is peace. Pray for peace in the hearts of each and every American. Pray that people do not take out agression or retaliation on those middle eastern citizens of the US no matter what those people feel. It is not for us to do! It will also not change anything. It would make us no better than those who created this catastrophe. Pray for peace in everyone's heart.... please.
I live in a town called Phoenix. The phoenix is a mythological bird that rose from the ashes - this is what we as Americans need to do. Rise above this horrid day and stand tall. Help those in need in any way you can and be proud and do not be shaken. Pray for the people who are suffering and the souls of those missing and who perished. That should be our only focus... not revenge and hate.
Love and peace - Be strong and my hearts are with all of you and your families now and forever.
Thanks for letting me go on... this is how I feel and I hope I have not offended... that was not my intention. I do not want to make this a political or religious forum but in this horrible time I felt the need to express some things and we all have and will come together as one.
Love Angel
