A day when I felt lucky to live in the city. I was on my way out of my East Side apartment when the doorman waved his hand to stop me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/holiday-devotions\/devotion-for-september-11th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A plane just hit the World Trade Center<\/a>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>An image of John F. Kennedy, Jr., shot through my mind. He had just crashed his private plane into the Atlantic Ocean in the summer of 1999. <em>These private-plane owners really don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing<\/em>, I thought as the doorman pushed open the door. It was a terrible accident to be sure, but an accident nonetheless. I expected to see something about this one in the paper the next morning.<\/p>\n<p>I walked over to Lexington Avenue and hopped on the 6 train. I was on my way to 51st Street for my advertising agency job. I grabbed a seat and pulled out my book. Two stops later, a crowd of people pushed their way in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA second plane just hit the twin towers,\u201d one man announced.<\/p>\n<p><em>Oh, no<\/em>, I thought. Maybe the first plane wasn\u2019t an accident after all.<\/p>\n<p>Someone murmured the word <em>terrorist<\/em>, and I knew in my gut it was true. What would the next target be? I scanned through <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/parenting\/adult-children\/gods-grace-in-a-new-york-city-blackout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York City<\/a> in my mind. The Chrysler Building. The Empire State Building. What else held a lot of people and was easy to see from the sky? Grand Central. The Brooklyn Bridge. Thousands of commuters would most likely be trapped underground. I got off the subway and ran up the stairs to Lexington. I hopped onto a southbound bus. It was packed and crawling along the street, but I could see all the way downtown through the front window. Huge gray clouds mushroomed into the sky. <em>What in the world is happening? <\/em>Was anywhere safe? I closed my eyes and bent my head to pray.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/a-mysterious-stranger-appeared-when-she-was-in-danger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">God, please look out for the people in danger<\/a>, and please look out for us, <\/em>I started, when a scene began to form in my mind. I saw a stairwell with a gray metal railing and concrete steps. People rushed down it\u2014hurried but mindful of one another in their focus to escape. Up through the throng came a determined young firefighter in a yellow-striped canvas jacket. He climbed past the fleeing people until he was higher up, all alone. Intent on doing his duty.<\/p>\n<p>As he continued his climb, he rounded a corner. Above him, the building was gone. Waiting there was an angel, large and bright against the dark debris surrounding them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell done,\u201d the angel said. \u201cNow come with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I opened my eyes. The scene I\u2019d watched was so clear. So real. Not my imagination, but <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/12-types-of-heaven-sent-visions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an actual vision<\/a>. <em>God<\/em>, I asked, <em>why did you choose me to see this?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Who was the young firefighter I\u2019d seen being taken up to heaven? Did he have a family who needed to know he was escorted by an angel to be with God? I was deeply overwhelmed and comforted by the vision, but I believe it was meant to be shared so the firefighter\u2019s family will learn of it and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/pray-this-litany-to-find-peace-during-the-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">find peace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Did you enjoy this story?
