On this Remembrance Day I am particularly thinking of all those who gave their lives in service during the Second World War. Because of what they gave I have lived my close to sixty years of life in peace and safety. It is gift that I do not take for granted. War and all its horror has been an integral part of human history and for all intents and purposes I have avoided it in my lifetime. Now there are those in this generation who are putting their lives on the line (and losing them) in Afghanistan. It is my prayer that their sacrifice will make the world a better place just as the sacrifices in times past have done.
"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)
Thank you.
