Rain, candle burning and 9-11 memories

today is 9-11...eight years since our 'taken-for-granted' security in this country was changed...
forever.
the first i heard about it was an hour after the first plane flew into the towers. i heard it from my dad who didn't always have his facts correct, so my first response was with mostly disbelief but...
 it was all too true.
 i went over to my brother's house as we do not have tv...it was with total disbelief that i watched what was happening.
i remember what a beautiful day 9-11 was, it was a clear typical late-summer day but it changed our lives forever, even those of us who know that we are... 
'...so-journerers and only passing through here...' 
today, i feel a weepiness for that loss...
not just for our national security but the pain of all those deaths and the thousands of children who lost their parents, families who are affected today yet...
today, i am grateful for the faithfulness of God...
that my security is in Him...
that changes in life are most times, not easy...but His faithfulness NEVER changes!
today is a very rainy day...a day to snuggle in the house...
the front and back of the house
it's a wonderful day to burn candles...
...to read...
...watch a movie...
...take a nap...
...but i really need to do the laundry and cleaning!
