9/11 of each year, since 2001, is a day of remembrance. On that day in 2011 thousands of people died when the World Trade Center in NYC was struck by 2 airliners which had been hijacked by terrorists. Of those thousands, 441 were first responders....firemen and policemen (and one dog) who kissed their families goodbye one last time as they went to work for their respective shifts, never realizing that that would be the last time. They died doing their jobs....helping others. They ran toward the imminent danger while civilians fortunate enough to make it out were running from that same danger. This is in remembrance of those souls.
None of us ever knows if the kiss goodbye we just gave our wives and families will be the last one. We never know if the words we have just spoken to them will be the last that they hear. And we never know if what we just did or thought will be our last action or thought.
How Christ like are our last words spoken, our last actions taken, or our last thoughts thought as we go through each day?
