Love

Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs. Psalm 10:12

If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Matthew 5:41

We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

Peace

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:14

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6,7

Hope

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 42:11

This post is in memory of Zandra Cooper Ploger. Seven years ago today, Zandra perished aboard American Airlines Flight 77. I pray the Lord brings love, peace and hope to her family today.

I remember Zandra Cooper Ploger

Today is the 5th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Bloggers throughout the blogosphere are uniting today to remember the 2,996 lives lost on that horrific, Indian summer day.

I remember Zandra Cooper Ploger.

Zandra – wife, mother, friend – was aboard American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon.

According to the article at the The Washington Post website, she and her husband were traveling to Hawaii for a delayed honeymoon. If you follow these links, you will read testimonies from those who knew her and I’m sure still feel the pain of her loss.

Zandra Cooper Ploger. Wife. Mother. Friend. She liked mystery books, cats and loved to plan parties. There is still so much about her I don’t know. What was her favorite ice cream? Did she like the beach? Did she have a dog? Where did she like to go on vacation?

I never knew her this side of eternity. I can only pray her family is finding comfort and healing today.

9/11 Memorial

I remember Zandra Cooper Ploger. I will not forget the fallen of that day. May the Lord give comfort and healing that only He can provide.
