Hi Everyone!
Today is September 11th and Mama said that this is a special day. She said it is the 7th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in the United States of America. Mama said that almost 3,000 people died that day. These were just not Americans but people from 87 countries. Dada said that at least 15 Filipinos died during those attacks.
Dada said that although this tragic event happened in the USA, it was an attack on all people around the world. He said that it was a “wake-up call” for all people to realize that they must learn to accept their differences and live together in peace.
This was an event that happened before I was born but Mama explained that it will have an effect on my life as I grow up. She said that we must pray today for all the people that were lost and remember that this was caused by a small group of people who believe that all people must live by their radical rules. In the end, they will fail.
So let us take a few minutes from our day to pray to God for the keeping of all the people that were lost that day and ask Him to watch over us each and everyday.
