Today 9-11-2024

Hebrews 13:2 NASB "Do not neglect hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it."I could either focus on the evil or the good - it always comes down to choice. Today we read about helping others! As we boarded the train, heading back to NYC after the towers fell, I felt a hatred in my heart for those who flew the planes into the buildings. When we got off the train, we began to meet other firefighters headed in the same direction - to Ground Zero - although I still had the hatred in my heart, I began to see the good in mankind as hundreds came to help. We weren't sure what we would find but we came, all willing to help in any way! I can't see the numbers 911 without thinking about those days when I saw good overcome the evil. I eventually gave up the hatred and even prayed for those who did the evil. It always comes down to choice! Today, may we pray for all those effected by that day! peace, tom
