Our morning started off watching some CNN and the coverage of 9/11.  Then we read some from 2 Thess. 3:1-5 about God being there always.  Then I went on to tell the story from my perspective, my ds was in my belly (I was 7 mos pregnant) when the attack happened of 9/11.  Ds insisted on seeing some coverage, and then we came upon a online video in remembrance, speaking in Jesus' point of view.  I cried and cried.  Not 1 min later my ds was crying too.  We began praying together and I knew I had to get myself together and remind him that God never ever leaves us.

So we back to our classroom and had a prayertime and lit a candle, and then had some quiet time to remember.  Not only the hereos of that day, but that God is always with us!!  Amen!

Then we said the pledge of allegience and discussed the meaning of the parts of the flag and made a star wreath to hang on our front door.  We made extra stars to go around it with items on them:  9/11, Hereos, God is always there, DS drew a firefighter and there were more.

Overall--very productive and meaningful.  I got the message I wanted to come across--Not everyone loves Jesus, but Jesus loves everyone and that God will never leave us, ever.

I'll post pictures when I get them developed!
