Spiritual Help
Bob arrived home
after school
feeling very
tired. He sat
down in the
living room,
threw his
backpack on the
floor, and
spread out on
the sofa. He
closed his eyes
and relaxed his
body.
Suddenly he
heard a noise in
the room. It was
his mother
looking for
something.
Seeing her son,
she asked:
- Hi, honey! Have you just arrived?
- Yup, Mom. And I'm really, really tired! Today was one
of those days! What are you looking for, dona1 Judith?
He asked, playing with her, as he always did when she
was angry or worried.
- A document that I need a lot but cannot find! If I do
not find it, I do not know what I'm going to do!
Seeing his mother so worried, Bob took a deep breath,
filled himself with courage, got up from the sofa and
started looking for the document too. From the living
room they went to the bedrooms, then to the dining room
and then to a room they called "the messy place".
But to no avail. They did not find it. Looking at the
clock, his mother thought it best to stop looking and
fix dinner. Bob took a deep breath, feeling grateful. He
could not take it looking for that document any more, as
he was already very tired because of school! He was glad
his mother had given up the search.
Exhausted and contrary to his habits, Bob had dinner and
went straight to bed. He loved to watch television or
read a book before bed. But that night he got into bed,
closed his eyes, and fell asleep quickly.
Later on, he woke up and left his bed to go to the
kitchen to get a glass of water because he was very
thirsty. That was when he saw his grandfather Felix, who
had already passed away, enter the kitchen smiling:
- Hi, my dear grandson! How are you?
- All right, Grandpa Felix! How good for you to be here!
My mother is looking for a document that she needs a lot
but we can’t it! I felt sorry for her, Grandpa! She is
very worried!

Grandpa Felix, standing next to him, said:
- Bob, tell your mother that the document is in the
closet of the room I used to live in. OK? I will show
you. Come with me!
And he took his grandson to the bedroom he occupied
while he was incarnated. He opened the closet, and in
one corner, along with other things, was the important
document in a green folder.
- So tell your mother where the document is. Do not
forget, Bob!
- I will not forget it, Grandpa.
They hugged and his grandfather left, satisfied.
The next morning, Bob woke up and got up to go to
school. He felt as if he had had a dream with his
grandfather, but thought it was silly. As he entered the
kitchen to have breakfast, he saw his mother and
remembered:
- Mom! Last night I had a dream with Grandpa Felix!
- Really? How is he?
- Very well. Even looks younger!
- And what did he tell you?
- Nothing. We talked about something but nothing
important!
Suddenly, at the thought of what he had just said, Bob
put his hand to his forehead:
- Mom, it was important! Grandpa came to show me where
the document that you need is!
- Are you kidding, Bob?...
- No, Mom! It is true! And I know where the document is!
Is it in a green folder?
- Yes, it is! Where is it? - His mother asked,
excitedly.
- Come with me and I'll show you, Mom.
His mother accompanied him to the room his grandfather
occupied while incarnated. Bob opened the closet and
grabbed the green folder, showing his mother where the
document was.
- Thank God! Well, I asked my father to help me find
that document. He heard my prayers! Thank you, Dad! -
she said, kissing the already yellowed paper.
- Did you see, Mom? Grandpa Felix wanted to help you.
And we talked a lot. He told me that he is very well
and, whenever he can, he comes to visit us.
That morning, after everyone was up, the mother told her
husband what had happened, and at breakfast they said a
prayer to Grandpa who had helped them through Bob's
dream.
Never again they doubted the existence of Spiritual Life
and that our loved ones, whenever in a position to help,
are always around supporting us with much love.
