9 Years Ago Today...

Was a Tuesday
A normal Tuesday
A Tuesday where Mom went to Bible Study 

Meaning us kids were in the nursery playing and doing school

Just like every other Tuesday

Until-

All of the us were quickly rushed home. None of us truly understood what was happening. Our mothers came and picked us up early. They were all panicked. All of us went home. Dad was there shortly after us. We just sat in front of the TV the rest of the day. Being 6 and 3, N and I didn't really care..... I remember thinking is was scary the first couple times we watched. Then I just got bored and wondered why in the world they were showing the same thing on TV over and over again! I didn't understand the ramifications until the last few years. 

At the five year Anniversary I was fascinated.... watched all the stories etc. I could get my hands on.  

I can't believe that not even 10 years later we totally forget about it. I have to honestly say I did! That is so sad to me! We just take so much for granted!  

I think today should be a good reminder to all of us to: 

To take NOTHING for granted 

To Pray for guidance from our leaders

Remember to pray for them

Especially our own lives

Pray for that country so many of us call home. 

And NEVER take them for granted!
