I am sure many of you believe as I do; that Christ gave us healing and spiritual gifts. (CORINTHIANS-12.) I also believe that these gifts are inherited through family members who are open to these gifts. I would like to share a story about my daughter Vicki and me that causes me to believe this is true with certainty. I have always known that Vicki is spiritually and psychically gifted. In my office/ Psychic room, I had a wonderful comfortable chair. One evening, Train, a radio DJ friend, and his friend stopped by for a visit. I invited Train to sit in my chair. He is a big guy, built like a football player. Later, I sat in my chair and noticed it was squeaking. As time passed, the chair squeaked more. I jokingly blamed Train for breaking my chair. One day, I was talking on the phone to Vicki, who lives in Los Angeles, and I teasingly said, “Vicki, when you get rich will you buy me a new chair?” She said, “Yes.” I have a Native American design throw rug lying in front of my phone stand, that also holds my healing crystals and candles. All afternoon, when I was near the stand, I had a strong urge to straighten the rug. Later that night, I called Vicki again to chat. "We talk often." When we finished talking, I turned my chair to put the phone back on the stand. As I did, BANG-the pedestal broke and the chair dumped me on the floor, directly onto the Indian rug. I couldn’t get up. Sharp pain began in my back, neck, and arm. I called to my husband Bob to help me up. After a while, the pain got so bad that I called Vicki to ask for a healing. She didn’t answer and I left a message. She called back later. It was around 1:00AM her time, but 4:00AM my time. She asked if I still needed a healing and I said, “Yes please.” As soon as she began, she said, “Marg is here and she says we don’t talk to her and she misses us.” I said, “That is true, I don’t talk to her, but I will begin to as of now.”(Marg is one of my sisters who is in the Spirit World.) Immediately, Vicki began crying uncontrollably. She said, “Mom I don’t know what is going on.” “ I can’t stop crying but it is an awesome feeling at the same time, because I have a great feeling of release of emotions and energy.” She stopped to wipe her tears. She told me that Marg was behind me giving me healing and she is happy we are talking to her. Before Vicki told me Marg was giving me healing, I could feel the pain going away rapidly but didn’t say anything. Shortly, Vicki said, “I’m going to do the healing now, then she said, “Never mind, Marg said she had already done it.” That was true. She also says that you will be as good as new tomorrow. We cried for a moment in the glory of the experience. Vicki has seen and communicated with Spirit and done healings before, but it had never been with the deep spiritual awesomeness of this one. When I got up the next morning, I felt fine at first, but as the day went on, all the pain came back. I thought with disappointment, that the healing didn’t work. The next day, I woke up and the pain was completely gone and didn’t come back. I realized that Marg knew what she was talking about. When I woke up the first day, I thought it was tomorrow but in reality it was today because it was 4 AM when she did the healing. The next day was what she was talking about being tomorrow, which it really was. I told Vicki that Marg must have been trying to get my attention all afternoon on that healing day. She was the reason I kept feeling compelled to straighten the rug. When Marg was alive, she had an obsession with keeping the throw rugs in their home straightened. She was the quietest one in the family and therefore she would be the least likely one to try to push her way through from the other side. As for the crying, she had some emotional problems and she cried a lot. I suppose I was dumped on the floor to get my attention. In that way, Marg was able to prove to my daughter just how strong Vicki’s healing gifts are and how well she can communicate with spirit. I know I wasn’t sent the pain without confirmation that Marg and my daughter, with God’s help could take it away and make me healed. It was a truly awesome, mother, daughter, sister, and God blessed experience. Vicki is now more confident with her spiritual gifts, thanks to Marg, who is around us all the time now. The person that used to be the shyest one in the family is now in the for-front communicating a lot. She has found her true place in heaven, and Vicki and I had a wonderful learning experience from her. We are truly blessed to have Marg and so many other spirit family members watching over us. I thank God for their help. Many Blessings. Copyright by Judith Pleasant 2003
