We had meetings in NYC this past week. It was very surreal and sobering to be there near the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our country. I had a seminar to attend that day, but John and John, Jr. visited Ground Zero, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on September 10th. They saw many preparations for ceremonies to be held the next day, plus many people visiting that area to remember what had happened ("Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it."). There were lots of people handing out gospel tracts, using the moment to show people the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Here is John, Jr. standing at Ground Zero, which is behind him. Our hearts go out to the dear people who lost loved ones and friends as a result of this tragedy. It's hard to imagine. We have prayed for them through this difficult weekend.

I love looking at your pictures Mary Lynn! It's so great that you guys were able to take John to see these things. It's so important for us to pass this history on to our children! What a blessing to be able to.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! John Jr. is getting so big!! Hope you are both keeping well;-)

No other city like NYC ~ I went up in the twin towers in High school. That is good that they were able to see it in person. It is our history as sad as it is.
