The Green Velvet Box

​The other day I was doing a Skype reading and feeling pretty good about it. The Spirit I was speaking with was the kind that makes my job easy (and makes me look good). He was chatty and supplied me with many specific details about himself without me having to prod.
 
I was on a roll and my client seemed to be very pleased. That is until the Spirit started talking about a ring. With this subject being raised, the woman suddenly got teary and told me, “We’ve been looking for that ring, but I don’t know where it is!”
 
The gentleman didn’t skip a beat and told me to tell her he kept it in a green velvet box. If she wasn’t able to easily find it, pull out the insert as it may have gotten stuck underneath.
 
Hearing this the woman jumped up from where she was sitting and from what I could gather as the camera bounced around, made a beeline across the room. After only a few moments of digging through her dresser, she found what she was looking for. I was dumbfounded with what she then showed me. Right before my very eyes was THE GREEN VELVET BOX.
 
Without hesitation, she opened the box and showed me the medals and family jewelry that was placed within. This box WAS where the Spirit had kept important items. She even pulled out the insert.
 
But to our dismay, the ring was not there.
 
Confused and upset, the Spirit became flustered. He repeated, “But that’s where I always kept it. It HAS TO BE IN THERE!”
 
At this point in the reading I was speechless. I was in awe over the Spirit’s clarity (Spirit never ceases to amaze me.) Yet, I didn’t quite know what to say to console my client or the Spirit as the information was correct, and then again it wasn’t. Because of this, I am certain I floundered.
 
In retrospect, I should have reminded her (and myself) that, “Your loved ones don’t become all knowing.” He obviously wasn’t. And, while our loved ones visit and keep an eye on us, they don’t watch us all of the time (which is probably a good thing!)
 
But it is important to remember that because they don’t watch us all of the time, they don’t always have all the answers or know everything that is going on. In this situation, the woman I was speaking with suspects the Spirit’s wife may have misplaced, lost or sold the ring he referenced. Unfortunately, he couldn’t bring clarity to where it is. Last place he saw the ring was in the green box. Perhaps now that it’s missing he’ll do a little searching… but in the meantime, hopefully knowing his intentions will bring my client some comfort.
