And so, the Sister Circle went to her home—unexpected and late in the evening.  They dropped off a bouquet of flowers.  Each sister provided a single flower for the bouquet.  Some flowers were silk, some chose to give a fresh flower.  Attached to each flower was a small piece of paper with a short note written on it.  Each note contained the name of the flower, why it was chosen for the bouquet and the significance of the absent sister’s membership to the group. 

Well…she was at the next Circle gathering, and she didn’t come in sheepishly or with a negative, guilty attitude.  The restoration bouquet was filled with so much love that she went back so she could have an opportunity to return some of that love.

Its important when you have a difficult and sensitive matter to confront that you do so without the force.  Browbeating, direct confrontation, accusations, never win over anyone to your way of thinking. Whereas, simple shows of love never fail.
