Thank you, Conor!
The following is a story about dogs and puppies at Rainbow Bridge on 9-11-01. I emailed Borax Queen a similar story about cats and kittens.
********
September 11th at the Rainbow Bridge
Unable to reach the hearts of the hijackers on Flight 11, God turned to the Rainbow Bridge. Every bark was stilled as they gathered to listen to his voice, calmly calling them to duty. Each dog sat rapt and alert as they heard God tell them that in a few minutes, the fields beyond the bridge would be filled with thousands of humans, who too soon were stolen from earth. Those who had once known the loving touch of a human were filled with horror as God explained what was about to happen in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. Then God addressed those thousands of dogs who had never had a human to call their own, who would soon arrive confused and afraid. And each tail began to wag, while their ears perked up, as in union they stood proudly ready to do God’s bidding.
When Flight 11 hit the first tower, across the bridge came a man leading others. His eyes though’ in shock, did twinkle at the site which they met. For wagging tails of thousands of four-legged creatures did cause the breeze in their hair. The confused man began to understand that he was at the Rainbow Bridge, for a long time ago a friend had told him of such a place. So he turned to those with him and said “Do not be afraid, for God has sent us to The Rainbow Bridge to care for these dogs who have never known love. That must be his gift to us, for having been stripped from the earth too soon with no warning.”
Back on Earth, God was unable to reach the hearts of the hijackers on two more planes and whispered to his Bridge kids that more were on the way. Then he heard the call of believers on yet another plane and gave them the strength to struggle against their captors. “Be calm and brave, for I shall have waiting for you, my angels who will comfort you” he told them. And together they prevented what could have been hundreds of needless more deaths, by overcoming the hijackers.
With his mighty hands, God held together the twin towers in New York, glad that he had given mankind the ability to build such wonders. But he knew that these towers would soon fall. He urged his people inside to help others descend to the ground and escape, and a mighty tear fell from his eyes, when he could no longer hold them together, for they were too badly damaged.
Within 2 hours there were over 3,000 souls who crossed the Rainbow Bridge, leaving behind their loved ones and fellow Americans to wonder at their fate. They were heroes everyone and I know that God gave them to the bridge, so that their passing would serve a greater purpose. The abandoned pets at the Rainbow Bridge are no longer abandoned. For they have found love in the victims of the September 11th tragedy. And we can remember our friends and loved ones who perished, knowing that they are busy caring for a creature who never before knew love, lounging under a shady tree, and frolicking in the fields of the Rainbow Bridge
Your welcome and thank you for your moving tribute, jaycee.
I hope you can soon turn from puny to perky!
I always feel down on 911...I watched Laura Bush in Pennsylvania and she was lovely and gracious as ever..but I was pleasantly surprised to note what a gracious and lovely tribute Mrs. Obama gave. I was pleased for all the families there.
I’ve been watching replays of news that day, too, on Fox.
Thank you, yorkie..I think your graphic is beautiful..and thank you for that wonderful video.
Indeed we cannot forget..You’re welcome, Conor.
Thank you, Meg. It’s a hard day - the memories are flooding, as I watch the replay.
That is a touching picture, TiaPammie! We will never forget.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
It is always a hard day..I can’t imagine what it is like for those who were there or lost loved ones.
A commentator said the school psychiatrist told parents not to let the young children watch those continuous replays of the planes flying into the building right after 911..because they would think it was happening over and over.
He said he himself flinches everytime he sees it...still.
So do I.
Indeed..That huge hole in the skyline left a bigger hole in our hearts. Thank you, pam.
SHINE THE LIGHT OF CHRIST IN THE WORLD.
HOW DO WE LIVE WITH EVIL?
HOW IS IT WE DO NOT CALL EVIL, EVIL?
May God shine the light of hope, peace, love, mercy into the hearts of all men everywhere, and may God forgive us our omissions and commissions in this day, in Jesus name, amen.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Beautiful version of the Doxology and I enjoyed each and every scripture, tiapam! Thank you!
Thank you for another lovely graphic, tiapam!
Very unique and touching graphic, tiapam. Appreciate it! Its a very sad day and this day will always be remembered and celebrated.
I personally appreciate you all so much!!
I don't deserve thanks for my posts today, but it is kind of everyone.
I also grieve for those families in the gas explosion in Calif.
In some way, it reminded me of a mini 911!
I grieve even more for the ones who were badly burned!
I experienced seeing a man badly burned from a car fire about 5yrs. ago in Calif. The news said he died the next day. It changed my life forever! Every summer, I help send a child from the Arizona Burns and Trauma Center to a camp in Prescott,Az., so they all can be together "as one"! Thank you for listening! I know it's been a difficult day for all of us! God Bless You All!!
