I’ve heard many times these last days: "Where were you on- 9/11?"...

...well…, I wasn’t ever born when tragedy struck.

Ever since I came to live with my Mom, which was the year I was born, 2006, and this date gets near my Mom talks to me about what happened on September 11, 2001. Her eyes get wet and she just keeps silence till I paw or lick her hand. She then picks me up and starts telling me about all the sadness in those 9/11 memories.

This time I had a question in my mind, and since my mother seems to be able to read my mind & soul, she just smiled at me and said:
"Did you ever wonder where God was on September 11? Did you ever wonder why God let that happen?” “well sweetie” (that’s me, of course…) “This poem sums it up, and answers the question to "Where was God on Sept 11?" “I read it somewhere a couple of years ago and I think it could help answer some questions for you”:

Where Was God On September 11, 2001?
(God explains)

"I know you're mad at Me right now. That's alright. People have been mad at Me before and will be again. Being mad is part of being human. My Son got mad, too. It's all right to be mad sometimes at injustice, for example, or the lack of charity."

"You probably think I am unjust and uncharitable when an airplane goes down like that. All those people lost. The children gone. It doesn't seem right; it can't be loving. You ask, 'Where was God?' Why did He allow that to happen?"

"I allow it to happen because I allow you freedom. I could have left you on a string and made you dance all day without getting tired. I could have moved your mouth for you and made you sing all night without growing hoarse. I could have pulled a wire that would have let you soar skyward and never fall."

"I could have, but I didn't because I love you so much. I want you to be free to decide when to dance and sing. Free to determine when you will come to Me in faith and hope. Because you are free, some of you choose not to dance or sing. Some of you select hatred over love, revenge over forgiveness, bombs over a helping hand. As you choose, I watch. I do not disappear. I listen to both the songs and the bombs. AND I REMEMBER."

"Where was God?" you wonder...I was there. I whispered in the ear of a little girl, 'Don't be afraid, I am with you.' I held the hand of a business woman as tightly as she clutched mine. I cradled a pilot against my shoulder as if he were a baby again."

"Amid the paralyzing fear, I was there, as I was there with my Son in the garden. Amid the unbearable pain, I was there, as I was with Him as He was whipped. Amid the terrible realization that life was ending too soon, I was there, with Him as He hung on the cross and asked, like you, "My God, why have you forsaken Me?"

"I had not forsaken Him. I did not forsake them. I was there as they fell, and as they rose to eternal joy. I listened to their anger, answered their questions and showed them why they had been created. Not to end that way, but to live with Me forever."

"In an instant, they came into existence. As you did. In an instant, they left this world. As you will. But beyond that last instant, I kept my promise... A little girl dances, a business woman sings, and a pilot keeps his wings forever."

After she finished, she kept silence and we both shared silence. Yes Mom, I think that I do understand now, He, our Loving Father is always with us, we just have to open our hearts to Him and trust.

~~~To this day, many people ask God why He could let this happen...but many fail to see that God was there embracing those who desired to see Him even in the midst of unspeakable tragedy. Take a moment to pray and pay respect to all those effected by 9/11 and share this with your family and friends, I just did~~~~

LET US NEVER FORGET!

Ok pawrents, get ready cus it's time fur you to learn- something from us.

Things you can, and should, learn from a dog:

1. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
3. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
4. When it's in your best interest, always practice obedience.
5. Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
6. Take naps and always stretch before rising.
7. Run, romp and play daily.
8. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
9. Be loyal.
10. Never pretend to be something you're not.
11. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
12. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
13. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
14. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
15. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
16. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
17. When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body. (this feels great I practice it several times each day)
18. No matter how often you are criticized, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout.
Run right back and make friends.

OK? better learn your lesson, take it from me, I'm the happiest pooch on earth. *twirls*
