This day is the anniversary of the attack by the nation of Japan upon the United States of America.
We call it Pearl Harbor Day.
December 7th, 1941
Although it is the memory of tragedy and sorrow, it is not the end of the story. As long as there are people in the world there will be suffering, sorrows and tragedies at the hands of other people. Today the enemies of the past are friends and partners. Hatred has been replaced with kindness.
As I pray for those who remain with us who experienced the horrors of that and other wars, I am grateful for the friendships we now know. And I pray for the peace and prosperity of all the earth especially in your family and life.
