National Reconciliation Day on April 2nd each year urges us to repair relationships we have damaged through words or actions. While many different “Days of Reconciliation” are held worldwide, this specific observance takes place on April 2nd.

We all know of a relationship where a misunderstanding caused friction. Eventually, or suddenly the relationship was destroyed. Time passes, and before long, years pass, and not two words have been spoken between the two people. They may be siblings or parent and child. Childhood friendships dissolve in an instant over angry words. Friends often immediately regret the cause of the quarrel but don’t know how to start over.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL RECONCILIATION DAY
  • Take that step and make amends.
  • It’s not too late. Reach out to that friend or loved one and make a fresh start.
  • Accept the olive branch when it is offered.
