9.11


i've been watching shows about 9.11
for the past couple days
which has been completely humbling
& one in particular stuck out to me

a sweet lady
a survivor of the attacks

as she told her story she had tears in
her eyes as she talked about the young man
that risked his life for her own
he saved her
& he died

she talked about how she felt like
because he made such an amazing
sacrifice for her she owed it to him to
live a happy & good life

i couldn't help but think of my savior at that time
he made the ultimate sacrifice for us
he died so that we too could live
a happy and good life
he loved us so much that he was willing
to take on the sins of the world
suffering pains & afflictions of all kinds
& died for each & every one of us
not just one person
but all of us

i feel so blessed to have the gospel in my
life & the understanding of the atonement

but i also feel so blessed to live in america
especially on this 10 year anniversary of 9.11
just a reminder of how lucky we are
to live in a free country
& im so thankful for all the men & women
who risk their lives everyday to keep it that way
