During the month of September, Pepperdine University commemorates the lives lost on September 11 with nearly 3,000 flags.
There is a flag for each US citizen victim, and the national flag for each foreign country that lost a citizen in the attack.
One Sunday morning I was feeling discouraged and I was talking to God in prayer on my way to church as I was passing by the flags at Pepperdine.
And then I saw this flag (below) right near the front easily seen from the highway. I quickly made a U-turn and got out of the car to check if I had really seen what I thought I had.
The flag of Mozambique
I thought not only about the lives lost, but I was reminded of God's loving plans for our hurting world, including the country of Mozambique.
