Day of Reconciliation: Unity and Healing 🤝
Today is dedicated to healing past wounds and promoting unity across all communities. Let’s reflect on the power of reconciliation, forgiveness, and mutual respect. By embracing our differences and finding common ground, we can build a better, more inclusive future for all.

💬 Let’s work together for a united tomorrow.

This quote showed up in my Facebook memories, and I think it's perfect for the #DayOfReconciliation (which is probably why I shared it today, 5 years ago):

All it takes is a simple apology like, 'Hey, I messed up, let's fix this and drop it.'
But people are stuck in their childish ways and would rather hold grudges for the rest of their lives than own up to the fact that they hurt somebody."

Happy #DayOfReconciliation, South Africa!

Today is when much of #SouthAfrica officially begins their #December holidays. Unless you work in retail, it's more than likely that you're on leave from today (public schools all closed on Friday, and will only reopen on 15 January).

But among all that excitement, let's not forget the purpose of the day: if there's someone you haven't spoken to in a while, and with whom your last interaction left a bad taste in your mouth, why not reach out today? Say you're sorry -- even if it wasn't your fault. Life's too short for grudges.

In the words of Paul (Romans 12:18), "Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody." And furthermore, in verse 19, "Never take revenge, my friends, but instead let God's anger do it. For the scripture says, 'I will take revenge, I will pay back, says the Lord.'” <https://www.bible.com/bible/416/ROM.12.GNBDC>

Happy #DayOfReconciliation, South Africa!

Today, why not make the effort, and take the first step to reconcile with someone who's wrong you or whom you've wronged?

It doesn't matter whose fault it is, or who had the last word. Pick up the phone. Send that message. Make that call.

You can do it. I believe in you. I'm proud of you! ❤
