Remembering Grandpa’s Visitation Message

Sitting on my bed, looking outside at the newly fallen snow, I am reminded of the message my grandfather gave me last year, around the same time.

I remember I hadn’t had a visitation from him in some time and was wanting to connect. In order to receive a visitation from my grandpa, or anyone I wish to connect with from the other side, is usually pretty simple. I simply say a prayer and ask, “If it can be please let it happen!” I put out the invitation and let it go.

With his last visitation I am almost asleep. As usual, grandpa stepped in on the left side, happier than the happiest person I had ever met. It is what he always projects out – pure happiness and light, shining his huge smile over me. He was a pretty large man in life and his entire being reminds me of pure sunshine, with a huge smile. Telepathically he is always telling me he loves me. It is the greatest feeling ever, pure joy and bliss. Exactly what I imagine Heaven to feel like.

I guess this morning my looking out through my window at the white blanket of snow, triggered a memory I had of that visitation, because I immediately remembered what he told me. I remember our power had gone out that day and it was super cold in the house. I was bundled up with blankets and was trying to keep warm.

Having forgotten I had prayed the night before for a visitation from grandpa, I was quickly reminded when he was right there on the side of my bed. He was beaming down at me with his usual ray of sunshine smile and aura of pure love, joy and happiness.

He told me that like the different seasons, the changing of the weather, from summer to fall, then winter and spring, so is the changing of our soul. We are constantly changing, going from one existence to another. Sometimes we get comfortable with a certain season or particular temperature, but we should always welcome the new change, as it is an invite for a new experience. It is a new opportunity to learn and grow, spiritually.

It’s all about change and progression. When it is something we don’t enjoy, like what I was going through at that moment (being cold and not enjoying the fact that I had no heat in the house) I could count my blessings instead. There was a roof over my head and food in the fridge, and we still had running water. There is always something to be thankful for!

His message that day comforted me just now, as I look out. Although, for a second, I was bummed at how cold it was outside and how I miss feeling the sunshine on my face (the sun hasn’t shown in days) I was reminded of the beauty of the snow and how pretty it looks. I remember now how important it is to always be thankful and to count the blessings that we have, as sometimes we can forget to focus on those blessings and get wrapped up in thinking and looking at things very negatively.

I am usually very positive and an optimist, always looking on the bright side, but we can all find moments when we give in to negativity. It’s super important in these moments to redirect out thoughts, as it raises our vibration and keeps us from sinking into depression and negative thinking.

I looked back today in a journal that I keep to record dreams, as well as any visitations I have received. On the day of grandpa’s visitation I wrote:

Grandpa visited me around 2:00am, the message he gave me was to focus on the positive, as there will always be changes, like the weather, and to always welcome the change as it is an opportunity to grow and learn. It is good for our soul. I must find the positive in every situation, good or bad. Just like his visits are super fast, life also goes by fast, So, enjoy each and every moment. Savor it and always look on the bright side.
