Scripture: John 13:34-35
Summary
Sixty-nine years ago this month President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, paving the way for the internment of some 120,000 Japanese Americans for the duration of World War II.
Today, a story about how Christ's final command to his disciples, "Love one another as I have loved you," became first, a guiding light for one Japanese American couple as they faced the realities of internment, and secondly, an inspiration to the next generation as they sought to build a hopeful future in tough economic times.
