Where were you thirteen years ago on 9/11?

I was at Domino’s Pizza on a field trip with my daughters. As the children were making their own pizzas, we moms noticed the workers flocking to the kitchen, gathering around a small TV. They were in shock. Shortly we were, too.

And we all wanted to be with those we loved.

Remember the great displays of love and faith that followed, passing through families, our nation, and around the world?

Let’s not wait on a huge tragedy to prompt us to love. All of us need a little extra love on a daily basis to get through even the small bumps of life.

We’ve created 6 Love Notes from scripture for you to print and share with someone this week. Cut them out, sign your name, then pack one in a lunch bag, tuck in a sock drawer, mail in a card, click a pic to Instagram, or Facebook one to a friend.

Here are some suggestions on who to send them to and why.

  1. Someone who has forgiven you or who longs for your forgiveness
    1 Peter 4:8
  2. Someone who needs your support or who is supporting you through a hard season
    Proverbs 17:17
  3. Someone you need to thank for how they’ve loved you
    1 John 3:18
  4. Someone whose service to others needs a pat on the back
    Hebrews 10:24
  5. Someone you’re trying to love better and honor more
    Romans 12:10
  6. Someone who is working hard to love their enemies
    Matthew 5:44

Remember that YOU count as that “someone” as well. If you need to be reminded of that word from the Lord, put the love note in a place you can see often.

We learn about love in the scriptures so we can experience love in real life.

The more we believe and receive God’s love for ourselves, the more we can spread it to others. Ready . . . set . . . love!

      The hardest part about doing things like this is narrowing down the list of verses.God has SO much to say about love since He IS love. It’s wonderful. :)

    I was at a client’s home to tend to some business. Which we quickly abandoned. And yes, as you write above, all I wanted to do was be with my loved ones. Praying for all those who lost their loved ones that day. Thank you for the Love Notes! I will put them to good use.

      It’s so interesting to hear the stories about where people were and the emotions they felt. I’m glad you shared yours, De. It’s definitely a day none of us will ever forget. And I didn’t even know anyone who died; I can only imagine how tough this day is on those who did. :( Thanks for stopping by and sharing the love.

    We were having our Wal-Mart Grand Opening ceremony. Color guard all present. When we got the news we immediately shut down the ceremony and everyone went home. Our Distribution center every year observes a moment of silence, flag half staff, and there is a somber feeling throughout our people. It was a very UNREAL day that I won’t forget…EVER.

      Oh, that gives me chills–picturing the color guard present there when you got the news. Definitely an unreal day that started out so ordinary for most of us…. It was and is such a wake-up call to take no one we love for granted.

    Love the cards, Lisa! Thank you! Although today brings back so many sad and scary memories, it also brings back the memory of God’s love and faithfulness. As our nation held its breath, we also witnessed His hand among us. Thank you for focusing on God’s love today.

      Excellent point, Ali. God’s love is always more. Even when we might not recognize or feel it through our pain, His faithful love is still a foundation underneath us. So grateful we have that assurance.

    Thanks so much for this wonderful resource. In the sadness of this day, I hope that the world can focus on the hope we have in Christ alone.

      I hope that too, Heather. Everything else around us is subject to crumbling, but Christ stands unshakable.
