I had been worried about Red Lady, my
red Hibiscus, all through summer. Moonlight, the yellow Hibiscus,
had been flowering profusely while Red Lady produced hardly any
flowers. Somehow now the tables have been turned and Red Lady has
started to bloom, while Moonlight is taking a back seat.
It is clear now that she just wasn't
ready to send out her blossoms and needed more time than Moonlight to
settle in. This discovery has been a wonderful blessing as it is
teaching me to look at people a little more differently.
In some people's lives we may be able
to see the obvious but they are just not there yet. It doesn't help
to force the issue, we need to learn to let them be and in their own
time they will come around. The best thing we can do is to support
them and encourage them throughout the process as best we can.
