Gentle Whispers

         When saying nothing said everything  …..
     Many years ago, when I would serve as a student medium at the 5:30 Stump service I had a lesson in “trust” from Spirit.  After I was called up to serve; as I turned to face the congregation I was drawn to the smile of a little lady with delicate, bird-like features about four rows back.   After getting permission to bring her a message, I said “I have a mother’s energy here who has that same smile.”  And then, as if someone pulled down a room-darkening blind, the image before me went black.  I said “Um, everything just went black, I guess she has nothing more to say, um, let me see if anyone else has something.”  A grandfather stepped forward and I gave her his message.
     After the service, the medium chairing the service tried to reassure me not to be discouraged.  The little lady and her escort, I assumed a son, caught up with me and she said she wanted to share an explanation of what the message meant to her.   She told me her mother had been in Spirit for many years and it had been a long time since she had sensed her presence.  Her mother had served as a medium at Stump services.  And she explained that on the walk to the Stump she had asked her mother “to make her presence known, she didn’t need to say anything! “
     That was over twenty years ago, and I’m still moved by a message that said “nothing”.   I learned that day that as a medium the message is not mine to understand; it is just for me to deliver and trust the receiver will.  I’ve also learned from other experiences that the understanding is not always instantaneous.  All you can do is trust the process.
