This serene photo of a sandhill crane at the lake calls to mind the comforting words in the 23rd Psalm.
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside still waters.
He restoreth my soul.
May we take a moment today to pause and reflect on God's eternal peace and goodness on the anniversary of that shocking day that shook America at its core. May today be a day of prayer for all those who sacrificed their lives to help those in need, and for all the families who lost their loved ones on that tragic morning.
May God's angels enfold our hearts and give us the strength to overcome all obstacles, to come up out of the ashes and rise again in victory.
