An apology is when you accidentally bump someone's cart in the store, apologize and move one. When harm is done, a simple sorry is going to be an insult to the hurt caused. Amends is fixing or making something right. Paying back money or repairing something that is broken. It is for the propose of making the person wronged to feel better. It has nothing to do with making the wrongdoer feel better. Rejection can be part of the consequences. A person can apologize and keep on doing the same bad behavior. Making amends means taking responsibility and changing the behavior.

Yup~~~ Happened in our coffee group today. One gal made a rude comment about what one of the other gals was wearing. When someone called her on it, she just said, "Well, that's just me!" ...and went on to something else.

I guess that wasn't even an apology~~~ Sighhhh..... I guess we were just suppose to get over it!!

Sadly in our world today, people feel no need to be civil or even consider other people's feelings in what they do or say. So they also feel no need to apologize.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
