A wonderful perspective. Subject: WHERE WAS GOD? WHERE WAS GOD? < < A letter was sent to me with some of the statements listed below. I < Added many of my own statements, as I have been asked the same question. < Even my sons and husband questioned, "If there really is a GOD, how could < he allow this to happen? Where was HE?" < < I know that the shock of what happened caused the doubt at that moment, < but I still feel the need to answer. I've been thinking about my < response to this question and answered it with some of the statements < below. I decided to put it down in writing. < < How many of us have heard that question "Where was your GOD when the < World Trade Center and the Pentagon was attacked?" Well I know where my < GOD was the morning of September 11, 2001, and He was very busy! < < He was trying to discourage anyone from taking these flights. Those four < flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 < aboard. < < He was on 4 commercial flights giving terrified passengers the ability < to stay calm. Not one of the family members who were called by a loved < one on one of the high-jacked planes said that passengers were screaming < in the background. On one of the flights he was giving strength to < passengers to try to overtake the hijackers. < < He was busy trying to create obstacles for employees at the World Trade < Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first < jet hit. Since the buildings held over 50,000 workers, this was a Miracle < in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the World Trade < Center told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic < delays. < < He was holding up two 110-story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers < Could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't topple < when the jets impacted. And when they did fall, they fell inward. GOD < didn't allow them to topple over, as many more lives would have been lost. < < And when the buildings went down, my GOD picked up almost 6,000 of his < children and carried them home with him. Reassuring his frightened < children that the worst was over and the best was yet to come. < < He sat down and cried that 19 of his children could have so much hate < in their hearts. That they didn't choose him, but another god that < doesn't exist, and now they are lost forever. < < He sent his children that are best trained for this disaster and had < them save the few that were still alive, but unable to help themselves. < And then sent many others to help in any way they were needed. < < He still wasn't finished though. He held the loved ones that were left < behind in his arms. He comforts them daily. His other children are < given the strength to reach out to them and help them in any way they can. < < And I believe he will continue to help us with what is to come. He will < give the people in charge of this great nation the strength and the wisdom < to do the right thing. He would never leave us in our time of need. < < So when anyone asks, "Where was your GOD on September 11?", you can say < "everywhere!" And yes, although this is without a doubt the worst thing I < have seen in my life, I see GOD's miracles in every bit of it. I keep < praying for those who don't believe in GOD every chance I have. I can't < imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in GOD. < < Life would be hopeless. < < Author Unknown --Boundary_(ID_wGq52eCskI+TphWVsNVyNg) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"< <HTML<<HEAD< <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type< <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=GENERATOR< <STYLE<</STYLE< </HEAD< <BODY bgColor=#ffffff< <DIV< </DIV< <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"<----- Original Message ----- <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: black"<<B<From:</B< <A href="mailto:jpponder@arn.net" title=jpponder@arn.net<Janace Ponder</A< </DIV< <DIV<<B<To:</B< <A href="mailto:JanRumph@aol.com" title=JanRumph@aol.com<JanRumph@aol.com</A< ; <A href="mailto:jacklaughlin@webtv.net" title=jacklaughlin@webtv.net<PJ Laughlin</A< ; <A href="mailto:garmonlink@hotmail.com" title=garmonlink@hotmail.com<paige garmon</A< ; <A href="mailto:abbyp@chainlinkservices.com" title=abbyp@chainlinkservices.com<Abby Ponder</A< ; <A href="mailto:YellBrkRoad@aol.com" title=YellBrkRoad@aol.com<YellBrkRoad@aol.com</A< ; <A href="mailto:karalee@securevisioncomm.com" title=karalee@securevisioncomm.com<Kara Lee Ford</A< ; <A href="mailto:sandi@hcnews.com" title=sandi@hcnews.com<Sandi McRae</A< </DIV< <DIV<<B<Sent:</B< Wednesday, September 26, 2001 6:48 PM</DIV< <DIV<<B<Subject:</B< Fw: WHERE WAS GOD?</DIV<</DIV< <DIV<<BR<</DIV< <DIV<<STRONG<<FONT color=#800080 face="Comic Sans MS" size=2<A wonderful perspective.</FONT<</STRONG<</DIV< <DIV< </DIV< <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"< <DIV<<B<Subject:</B< WHERE WAS GOD?</DIV<</DIV< <DIV<<BR<</DIV< <DIV<<FONT face=Tahoma size=2<<BR<</FONT< </DIV< <DIV<<STRONG<<FONT size=3<WHERE WAS GOD?</FONT<</STRONG<<BR<> <BR<> <FONT color=maroon<A letter was sent to me with some of the statements listed below.
