Repentance Day

Repentance day is a special time when we think about the things we have done wrong and feel sorry for them. It's like when we accidentally break a toy or say something mean to a friend, and we feel bad about it and want to make it right. In the same way, we think about all the mistakes we have made in our lives and ask for forgiveness from God or the people we may have hurt. It's a time to reflect on how we can do things better in the future and to ask for help in making those changes. Repentance day is a way for us to turn our hearts towards doing what is right and kind, and away from things that hurt ourselves or others.
