Reigniting One’s Faith

Story of a Grandma who lost her faith

It is often difficult to keep faithful when the world around us collapses. How do we keep faithful? How do we remain focused on the positive side of things?How do we stay positive in the canvas of life?

Next is a story of how one woman lost her faith, only to realize it had never left.

A friend of mine told me of her Grandmother and her tenacious beliefs. Her Grandmother’s faith was the rock of the family until one day her faith had been lost…

One day her Grandmother explained, “I feel that I am losing my faith and God has abandoned me. I don’t feel I have a purpose anymore.” Her Granddaughter didn’t know what to do, so she called other family members to help restore her faith.

While consoling Grandma, one of the children had noticed something very peculiar in the kitchen. The refrigerator had the word faith spelled out in letter magnets. You know that kind…when we were little? We used to spell out words on our parents refrigerator. The family noticed the word faith was missing a letter ‘T.’ Faith was spelled fai_h with no letter ‘T.’

“Mom, here’s your problem! You have lost the ‘T’ in faith on your refrigerator, this must be why you are missing your faith?!” Insisting they look for the ‘T’ and that her faith resides in that word, they looked high and low for grandma’s missing ‘T’. They looked inside and around the fridge, but nowhere to be found. They even pulled the refrigerator out to look behind…but nothing…they lost hope.

This left grandma helpless. Not finding the ‘T,’ grandma fell to her knees crying out with arms raised to the heavens. With arms extended up, crying out, “I just need to know that everything will be okay.”

The very next day grandma began her day by asking Creator for a sign, “Please Lord give me a sign that everything is going to be okay. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I don’t know if I have a purpose anymore…please just tell me it’s going to be okay.” As she approached the fridge…she opened it. There inside was a ‘T’ on the shelf. The ‘T’ clearly was not there the day before, but miraculously appeared. As if Creator personally was telling her “it’s going to be okay” while placing a ‘T’ upon her shelf.

The irony to the story…just as grandma was looking for her faith on the outside, we too are reminded our faith resides on the inside. Traveling an inward journey finding our faith is truly strong. While Grandma found her faith restored within the refrigerator, she realized it was restored within herself.

We all have our challenging moments in life, but how we react to them…shall define our days ahead. We can waffle in misery or Shine On! As we move forward in faith, hope is restored…hope for a brighter future. When things bring us to our knees, rest for a moment and await miracles in action. If we have a moment of helplessness or loneliness…rest…this too shall pass.

We are never alone…even when we are, Spirit is always with us. Maybe ancestors, guardians, helpers, or whomever…Spirit is always present. Enjoying the company of those in Spirit…we shall never be alone. Plus we have a Senior partner with us, at all times…waiting for us to begin dialogue. Even if the world crashes down around us…we shall be taken care of.

Stepping into the Canvas by faith. No matter the outcomes, focus on our own house. Keeping our own house in order, happiness begins eternal. It is through faith All will be good, attracting just that…more of what we want in our lives. Through faith, we gain hope. Through Hope, aligning with higher vibrations of creativity…Creating the life we want to Live.

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.~Khalil Gibran
