the Write Word Inspires: How To Sing the September Song

September is significant for various reasons around the world. A few examples:

Father's day celebrated on the first Sunday of September in Australia and New Zealand
Brazil's independence day is September 7, Chile's September 18, Mexico's September 16 and Uzbekistan's September 1.
First Monday in September is Labour day in USA and Canada
September 11 is Patriot day in USA in honour of those who lost their lives in the September 11 2001 attack.

"From a Christian point of view of course we do want a peaceful world, and I think September 11 did actually make people aware not only of vulnerability and how transitory life is, but there are forces of good and honour and justice which speak to us of God and his love for us. " George Carey

Seasons change and time moves on, but what you choose to remember is what counts. The memory of September 11 still rings in our minds and so many people still hurt from memories of lost loved ones. However we can choose to either live in the past or move on and step into the next phase.
