"MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL"
You say you will never
forget where you were when you
heard the news On September 11,
2001. Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in
a smoke filled room with a man
who called his wife to say
"Good-Bye." I held
his fingers steady as he
dialed.
I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go."
I was with his wife when he
called as she fed breakfast to
their children. I held her up as
she tried to understand his
words and as she realized he
wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the
23rd floor when a woman cried
out to Me for help. "I
have been knocking
on the door of your heart
for 50 years!" I said. "Of
course I will show you the
way home - only believe in
Me now."
I was at the base of the
building with the Priest
ministering to the injured
and devastated souls. I
took him home to tend to
his Flock in Heaven. He heard
my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those
planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was
with the crew as they were
overtaken. I was in the
very hearts of the believers
there, comforting and
assuring them that their faith
has saved them.
I was in Texas, Kansas,
London. I was standing next
to you when you heard the
terrible news. Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that I
saw every face. I knew
every name - though not all
know Me. Some met Me for
the first time on the 86th
floor.
Some sought Me with their
last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me
calling to them through the
smoke and flames; "Come to
Me... this way... take my
hand." Some chose, for the
final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.
I did not place you in the
Tower that day. You may
not know why, but I do.
However, if you were there in
that explosive moment in
time, would you have reached
for Me?
September 11, 2001 was not
the end of the journey
for you. But someday your
journey will end. And I will
be there for you as well.
Seek Me now while I may be
found. Then, at any moment,
you know you are "ready to
go."
I will be in the stairwell
of your final moments.
~ GOD OUR FATHER ~
