From Fabulous Francesca and her reading: Seedtime and Harvest
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the story of a couple living in Sacramento, California, who refused to accept the evidence of their senses, who refused to be robbed, in spite of a seeming loss.\u00a0 The wife had given her husband a very valuable wristwatch.\u00a0 The gift doubled its value because of the sentiment he attached to it.\u00a0 They had a little ritual with the watch.\u00a0 Every night as he removed the watch he gave it to her and she put it away in a special box in the bureau.\u00a0 Every morning she took the watch and gave it to him to put on.<\/span><\/p>\n

One morning the watch was missing.\u00a0 They both remembered playing their usual parts the night before, therefore the watch was not lost or misplaced but stolen.\u00a0 Then and there, they determined not to accept the fact that it was really gone.\u00a0 They said to each other, “This is an opportunity to practice what we believe.”\u00a0 They decided that , in their imagination<\/span>,<\/em> they would enact their customary ritual as though the watch were actually there.\u00a0 In his imagination<\/span>, every night the husband took off the watch and gave it to his wife, while in her imagination<\/span> she put it away.\u00a0 Every morning she removed the watch from its box and gave it to her husband and he, in turn, put it on.\u00a0 This they did faithfully for two weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

After their fourteen-day vigil, a man went into the one and only jewelry story in Sacramento where the watch would be recognized.\u00a0 As he offered a gem for appraisal, the owner of the store noticed the wristwatch he was wearing.\u00a0 Under the pretext of needing a closer examination of the stone, he went into an inner office and called the police.\u00a0 After the police arrested the man, they found in his apartment over ten thousand dollars worth of stolen jewelry.\u00a0 in walking “by faith, not by sight,” this couple attained their desire – the watch – and also aided many others in regaining what had be seemed to be lost forever.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our imagination is our gift from God and is a powerful tool.\u00a0 When we use it lovingly and consciously, manifestation will occur.\u00a0 The Spirit of God in you is your imagination<\/em>.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
