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 
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. 

Remember..I love you…

God
