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
