Time in the spirit world

That? Everyone is getting ready to celebrate Halloween, and yesterday I saw my first Christmas decorations. Outside a supermarket, three young men placed lights around several pine trees. Already? I thought, then a hint of panic washed over me as I wondered: Have I done all my shopping yet? I took a deep breath and smiled. You don’t need to rush. And as I sat in my car and watched the high school students make the entrance to the market festive, I remembered why December was important to a young newlywed, how her wish came true, and the lesson that the spirit moves to her. own speed.

When Jeanette called for her date, the oaks in the front yard had dropped little piles of brightly colored red and yellow leaves. I made a mental note to hire the young man down the street for a little rake.

I closed my eyes, said a quick prayer, and then asked Jeanette’s mom to speak. Mom also brought Uncle Barry and his wife, who said they were glad every time Jeanette wore the brooch she had left in her will. Then I passed on information about the house that Jeanette and her husband had just bought, and other minutiae that I can’t remember now. But I do remember what Jeanette said when I asked her if she had any questions.

“When will Bill and I have our first child?”

She and her husband had been trying to conceive for three years and the couple was considering a fertility clinic.

In my mind, Jeanette’s mother whispered roughly: December!

“Spirit is telling me that you will be pregnant in December,” I said. Jeanette was delighted. December was two months away, and from the way she was expressing her excitement, it seemed like she couldn’t wait to call Bill for a nice afternoon.

Right after Christmas, I received a discouraged email from Jeanette. She had not yet conceived.

I felt a tug on my stomach. Jeanette had been so happy when the spirit, through me, gave her that message. In my heart, I knew that the spirit was never wrong. Had he misunderstood something? But she had heard her mother’s voice so clearly!

For the next few weeks I thought about that reading. And then when time has a way of creating distance, the memory of Jeanette’s session faded. Winter turned into spring, which gave way to a mild summer and a wet autumn. The Farmer’s Almanac predicted a harsh winter. I made sure I had enough firewood in the basement to power the fireplace.

On December 15, I received an unexpected call. Jeanette, effusively happy, told me she was pregnant.

My spirit soared. “I’m so happy for you!” I said, and remembered his mother’s word. December! And here it was, December, but a year later. So the spirit was right. It just wasn’t the December that I assumed the spirit was talking about.

That was a great lesson for me. Time is different in the spirit world. There are no clocks on the other side of life. The spirit does not wear a watch. It is only here on the earth plane that things are expected to get done at some point. So now, when the spirit gives my client a particularly meaningful day or month, I add, “But it may not be this Tuesday (or October, or whatever).”

I thought about that as I watched the boys decorate the pine trees outside the supermarket. So what if I haven’t bought any holiday gifts yet? There is no rush to go shopping. I have a lot of time.
