Commemorating 9/11 in Your Homeschool

September 10th, 2008

Still fresh in my memory are the events that took place on 9/11. I remember the day clearly down to where I was when I found out about the attacks. How about you? I have been reflecting on the terrorist attacks and the fear that followed. It was an uncertain time in our history, and I feel it is important for us to honor those innocent people who died on that day in 2001 and to honor all of the people who have been defending freedom ever since.

I am going to spend some time praying tomorrow. I want to pray for the families who were most touched by the tragedies, the family members who lost their loved ones that day. I also plan to pray for our government officials to make wise decisions that will protect our citizens, our soldiers, and the innocent lives impacted by those decisions. Perhaps the most important people to pray for are our soldiers who are serving their country and their families who are waiting for their loved ones to return home safely. Will you join me in my prayers?

Verse of the Day
  • At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:1-4, ESV)
