Reflections on September 11th, 2001 - GOD BLESS AMERICA!

On this September 11th, known as Patriot Day, may we all remember the lives lost in the horrific terrorist attacks on America in 2001.

For those of us who lived through September 11th, the memory of what took place is seared into our memory. I will never forget the disturbing images I saw or how terrified I felt that day as my family and I gathered around the TV to watch the endless news coverage. I remember falling to my knees in prayer and crying for the people who perished and the family and friends they left behind.

We were forever changed as a nation, but thankfully, our country, at that time, was firmly united. Americans proudly wore red, white, and blue and flew the American flag with great pride. Even though it was a dark time, the spirit of patriotism and God's amazing love shined through.

Let us continue to pray for peace in America and for those who lost someone they loved on that day.

If you've never seen the film Flight 93, it is a heartrending depiction of what took place on September 11th, 2001. This movie, made in 2006, stars many actors you are sure to recognize from Hallmark movies, including Brennan Elliott (His and Hers, Crossword Mysteries), Karen Holness (Christmas at the Plaza, The Christmas Promise), April Telek (Big Sky River, A World Record Christmas), Laura Mennell (A Country Wedding, Cedar Cove), Tom Butler (Anything for Love, Chesapeake Shores), Wanda Cannon (Christmas List, Surprised by Love), Zak Santiago (Signed, Sealed, Delivered), Hrothgar Mathews (When Calls the Heart), Eric Keenleyside (Martha's Vineyard Mystery), and Daryl Shuttleworth (Christmas in Evergreen).

You can see the movie Flight 93 on YouTube - here. Please note: due to the intense, heavy story based on these real-life events, this is not a film for children; it does include language and violence.

May God bless and protect America.

With an enormous love for my Country,

Net

Praying for Peace...

Today, I am praying earnestly for our Country, President Donald J. Trump, the family and friends of the rally attendee, Corey Comperatore, whose life was lost, those in critical condition, and those who were injured physically and emotionally from this evil attack.

I believe Divine Intervention from our Heavenly Father and Angel Armies protected President Trump yesterday, July 13, 2024, from an attempted assassination. God's protective hand was upon him for a greater purpose.

While watching the rally live yesterday on TV with my family, I was in complete shock when I heard the pops of gunfire. I jumped up from my seat to get a closer look as President Trump ducked for cover as bullets flew by. As we waited to see if he was okay, the seconds felt like an eternity, and my family and I prayed he would be safe.

This is a defining moment in time, in history, that none of us will ever forget.

President Trump released a statement this morning, profoundly expressing that "it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening." He concluded by saying we must stay strong and not let evil win.


President Donald J. Trump's full statement - Sunday, July 14, 2024:

“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.”


God bless you all! I, too, believe that evil will NOT be triumphant in the end.

May God Bless America,

Net

The Waltons

Patriotic Marathon

on Hallmark Drama

Unfortunately, the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will not be airing any of their great patriotic movies on the 4th of July, which I think is such a shame on this important, momentous holiday. The network has so many wonderful inspirational military movies that could've been shown, such as USS Christmas, A Veteran's Christmas, Holiday for Heroes, Love and Sunshine, Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Truth Be Told and The Impossible Dream, and many others. 

I cannot imagine why Hallmark's programming department did not choose to show any of these patriotic movies on this special holiday - when we honor America. It's almost like not showing any Christmas movies on Christmas day, which would be, in my opinion, very strange. 

I am glad, however, to see Hallmark Drama will still honor our country with this full-day marathon of The Waltons military-themed episodes.

★★★★★

I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July...

As we enjoy all of the parades, fireworks, good foods, and festivities, let us pause and give thanks to God above for all that we enjoy on this important holiday. As our political leaders seek to divide God from any place in government, let us remember how the men who signed the Declaration of Independence leaned on our Creator for their spiritual guidance in those uncertain times. I pray The Lord continues to have mercy on our land and that the people of our nation turn their hearts back to God again.

May the light of God's love 

and freedom shine upon you!

🎇 HAPPY 4th of JULY! 🎇

God Bless You All, Net

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

"Now the Lord is the Spirit,

and where the Spirit of the Lord is,

there is freedom."

Happy National Day of Prayer!

"Blessed is the Nation

whose God is the Lord;

and the people whom He hath chosen

for His own inheritance."

~Psalm 33:12

History of this day...

The National Day of Prayer is observed annually on the first Thursday in May. This observance, designated by the United States Congress, asks people “to turn to God in prayer and meditation.” Every President, since 1952, has recognized this day with a Presidential Proclamation.


The 2023 Theme for The National Day of Prayer...

"PRAY FERVENTLY IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND AVAIL MUCH"

JAMES 5:16B tells us:

"THE EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH.


My thoughts...

When we turn on the news these days, it's easy to see that this world is in a spiritual battle. Our youth are being indoctrinated more than ever before with immoral principles - right in their very classrooms. I believe when prayer was taken out of schools in 1962, that's when evil was welcomed in.

That's why we must, as Christians and Christ followers, join in prayer on this day... to praise God and pray for our families, our country, our world, our leaders today and in the future, our military, fellow citizens, neighbors, believers and non-believers, the church, schools, businesses, and so much more. Let's turn to God, seeking with all of our hearts His guidance and grace in our world today.

Even though we all go through different seasons in our lives, the Bible tells us to "pray without ceasing."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says:

"Rejoice at all times.

Pray without ceasing.

Give thanks in every circumstance,

for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.…

You can also join the 2023 National Day of Prayer National Prayer Gathering Broadcast at 8pm EST this evening through various Christian Television sources (DayStar, GOD-TV, and NRB-TV) and radio stations, and you can live-stream it through the video below...

Praying for Peace in Ukraine

My heart is breaking as I watch the news. Like many of you, my prayers are going out today - to the innocent people in Ukraine, whose country is being attacked. I know there are many scared and hurt people right this very minute. They are confused and don't know where to go. Please, Lord, help them to escape to safety, wherever that may be.

I know there must be many, many prayer requests, but I saw this specific one on Twitter this morning and I wanted to ask you all to join me in prayer for this brave family - in the face of danger...

@sarahrlacour requested prayer for:

"If you need specific names to focus your prayers for Ukraine, please pray for my friends Tanya and Andre and their family. Tanya and the youngest children are evacuating and helping the disabled childrens home evacuate. Andre + oldest son are joining the army and fighting."

The image above is of Christians who joined in prayer, out in the snow and bitter cold in Ukraine, praying and fasting over their country. Let us join our Christian brothers and sisters in prayer during this critical, difficult time.

If you know someone who needs prayer or if you'd like to give your thoughts on what is happening, as well, please share in comments below.

I fear, this is just the beginning with Ukraine. There will be more dictators who seek power and land-grabs elsewhere after this. Ukraine is weaker today, and sadly, America is, as well. Please, also join me in prayer for the future of our country and the world.

God bless you all, Net

Psalm 91:

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

My Daddy is a Veteran and I'm so proud of his service, along with my Grandfather, Several Uncles, and Cousins. Please share in comments below if you have loved ones who have been in any branch of the military. We are incredibly grateful for their service.

ON THIS DAY - PATRIOT DAY...

* WE PRAY * WE REMEMBER * WE REFLECT *

THOSE OF US WHO LIVED THROUGH THAT DAY

MUST NEVER FORGET

AND WE MUST SHARE THIS HISTORY

WITH THE NEXT GENERATION

Let us continue to pray for peace in our Country and for those who lost someone they loved on that day, September 11, 2001.

Like many of you, I remember watching the events unfold on my TV that historic day, surrounded by my family, wondering what horrific event might happen next. That feeling we all had on that day was extremely frightening; however, I pray we, as a country, never forget.

I pray for all the families who endured loss on that day of September 11th and for those who have lost loved ones - soldiers, fighting for our freedom ever since.

As we remember this dark time, be a Light to someone Today! Let us love one another!

GOD BLESS AMERICA ~ Land that I love!

Praying for Texas, Ohio, and America...

To all the people of El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio... please know I send my prayers and my deepest sympathies to each and every one of you.

On Saturday afternoon, as we learned the terrible news in Texas, my heart went out over and over again to each family tragically touched by this horrible event. And then to wake up Sunday morning and learn of the news in Ohio, another horrific senseless tragedy, my heart broke all over again.

Throughout the weekend, I watched the news on and off in disbelief. To think such a terrible thing happened on a bright sunny Saturday afternoon as people innocently went to their local Walmart for groceries, etc... is so hard to fathom. When I would turn the station back to Hallmark, to my peaceful, blissful world of escape, with all my heart I wished every one could turn the channel and everything would simply be okay.

God's Blessings to our police, who are always there to serve and protect, our fellow Americans and EMT's, who were there to help at the scene and the doctors, who are still attending to the wounded. This is such an awful, senseless tragedy for our country, an incredibly sad weekend.

Our American flag flies now at half staff as a symbol of our nation's mourning and respect. Praying for all touched by this.

Take care and be safe everyone.

God's Blessings to you all, Net

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

🌟 HAPPY ELECTION DAY -- GOD BLESS THE USA!!! 🌟

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read "PRAY - VOTE - PRAY". That's exactly the echo of my heart on this day, and I'm sure many of you feel the same.

I will be voting today! If you haven't already voted early, I hope you will also have the opportunity to do so. As Americans, we are truly blessed to live in a country where we are free, and I pray we never take that for granted. Here's a beautiful image of an old American flag below. Whenever I see Old Glory raised, I can't help but feel a sense of pride and belonging, grateful for all the generations that came before me, so that we can live in freedom today!

Remembering September 11, 2001 - GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Today, on this Patriot Day, we reflect on the tragic events of September 11, 2001 - when most of us watched on TV, as terrorists struck planes into our World Trade Center in New York City, our Pentagon in Virginia, and when the heroes of Flight 93 crashed their hijacked plane into a field in Pennsylvania. Our world since that day has never been the same.

As time moves us further away, I hope and pray, as a nation, we will never forget what took place that day. We must continue to pray for the families and remember the victims of September 11th, who were ordinary Americans, like you and me, simply going about their daily routine.

As we remember this dark time, be a Light to someone Today! Let us love one another!

God Bless America!
