ReplyDeleteHello Child of Fiji,
ReplyDeleteYesterday was a blast from the past when Rev Josateki's voice was on SBS radio in Australia and the need for a reconciliation from hurts way back in about 1989! Perhaps the current situation can be a time of revisiting relationships where there has been much pain and a need to say 'sorry'.
