Speaking of the horrible tragedy of 9/11 President Thomas S. Monson said this:
'It is constancy that God would have from us. Tragedies are not merely opportunities to give Him a fleeting thought, or for momentary insight to His plan for our happiness. Destruction allows us to rebuild our lives in the way He teaches us, and to become something different than we were. We can make Him the center of our thoughts and His Son, Jesus Christ, the pattern for our behavior. We may not only find faith in God in our sorrow. We may also become faithful to Him in times of calm.'
Thomas S. Monson is president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I add my own thoughts and testimony that 'I need thee every hour' to our Savior Jesus Christ. I have begun to start my day with a prayer where I dedicate my day to Him. My kids hear me pray for this and have begun to pray for the same thing. The power of inviting the Lord into my life has been tremendous. I feel His guidance and my mind has had greater clarity to sense that guidance.

What a great thing to pray for. And I love it that you children have picked up on it.
I actually found myself THANKING the Lord today that I ONLY have the Flu. After being so sick this year, the Flu is welcome, whereas everything else is not.
