Through the
holidays I was deluged with different reports of loved ones who have passed on
sending messages to those still here on earth. One grieving mother wrote me the
following:
Hi Allyson… I received this text from an unknown
area code and phone number yesterday... I know it was from my son…
“Merry Christmas Family! I love all of you and
thank you for all of the prayers. A second chance at life is the best Christmas
present that anyone can ask for.”
It was amazing for me! He was with me alllll
day, I felt! God bless you and yours…
Another
woman told me she had been sending love to her deceased grandfather, asking him
to come around and join them for the holidays. Christmas was quickly
approaching and she knew he would be terribly missed, as it was the first
Christmas they would have without him. She asked her grandfather to let her
know if he was near. On Christmas morning her phone rang. She said the caller’s
number was showing as “UNKNOWN”. The
woman said she would not have answered it, but she works for an organization
whose calls show up that way on people’s caller ID, so she thought it might
have been her boss calling on Christmas morning. She answered the phone and the
elderly man on the other end of the phone said, “Good morning, this is your
Grandfather.” She said she stood in silence, completely caught off guard and
then blurted out, “This can’t be my grandfather!” He responded, “And why not?” She
answered, “Because my grandfather is dead.” She said the phone went silent and
there was no one on the other end. After the woman hung up, she was shocked to remember
she had asked to hear from her grandfather and indeed understood the call was
no accident.
Some of
you may think that it was all just a coincidence. Really? Did you receive a
call from your deceased grandfather wishing you a Merry Christmas? I know I
didn’t.
The most
difficult thing for us as physical beings is to understand life really is as
simple as “asking and receiving”. It helps us to believe. What are you asking for and are you ready to
receive it?
