A Day of Remembrance at Timber Valley Retreat

The air at Timber Valley Retreat is crisp and clear this morning, a gentle breeze rustling through the trees. The sky is a brilliant, uninterrupted blue. It’s a peaceful scene, a stark contrast to the vivid, painful images that come to mind on this day. Today, we pause. We remember.

Twenty-four years ago, on a day just like this one, our world changed forever. It’s a date etched into our collective memory: September 11, 2001. We all remember where we were when we heard the news. The shock, the disbelief, the profound sadness that swept across the nation and the globe.

Today, we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost. We remember the victims, the heroes, the first responders who ran toward danger without a second thought. Their courage, sacrifice, and resilience continue to inspire us.

Here at Timber Valley, surrounded by the quiet strength of nature, we are reminded of the importance of community and unity. The way our nation came together in the days and weeks following 9/11 was a testament to the American spirit. We saw neighbors helping neighbors, strangers offering comfort, and a shared resolve to heal and rebuild.

On this day of remembrance, we encourage you to take a moment. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Reach out to a friend. Reflect on the strength and compassion that emerged from the rubble. Let us never forget the lessons of 9/11 and the enduring power of hope and humanity.
