There are about four personal questions that Nancy asked God through Heavenletters.
Nancy has generously offered to have her questions and God’s answers shared, and I would like to publish them here in Heaven’s Godwriting Blog.

Although the questions are specific to Nancy, they are universal. Is there anyone who doesn’t have questions about their mother? As for God’s answers, they are for all of us.

Another reason to publish these questiions and answers is that that give us an opportunity to see Nancy’s growth during this series of four questions. This gives us hope for our own!

Nancy to God:

Dear God,

I am highly concerned about my mother, Dolores. She will be 83 soon and has been in reasonably good health.

The problem began about 3-4 months ago. She sees bugs. She is obsessed with these bugs. I called an exterminator, no bugs, I looked around, no bugs, I’ve taken her to two doctors, no bugs.

She “catches” them in a paper cup, and they are pieces of fuzz or something non-insect inside. She gets really mad when you tell her you don’t see anything.

Now, they are “living under her skin and laying eggs”. If she talks too much they “stab” her, and she actually jumps.

This is SO bothering me, only you can imagine!

I am her only child, and we have always been close. We still do things together, and I have “banned” any talk of bugs, but she still does. She is an intelligent woman, educated, and all I can think of is dementia. She can still remember everything, has intelligent conversations and a sense of humor.

One doctor wants me to “slip” a very strong dementia medicine to her without telling her what it is, and I couldn’t. The side effects are heart attack and stroke.

I do not want to do anything to hurt my mother at this stage of her life. She has always been so good to me and my son. I just don’t know what to do..

Please help me as to what I can do for my poor, dear mother.

Love,
Nancy

P.S. I still send beautiful things to you each night during prayers, you send me beautiful things each day. It may be silly to send You what You already have, but I like doing it anyway! Shall I continue? Or is Heaven full !!!!!!!

God to Nancy:

Most beloved Nancy,

Heaven is full, yet there is always room for more. Continue to send Heavenward your beautiful gifts. I receive them in My heart. My heart is full, and always embraces more. There is always more and more. And you are a delight to My heart. I do not want to be misunderstood when I say I cannot get enough. If you gave Me your blessings every minute of every day, there would still be room for more. My heart overflows. And where does it overflow to? Right back into your beautiful, most beautiful, heart. How reciprocal We are, beloved Nancy.

Life has already taught you, beloved, that there are matters that do not belong to you. No matter how much you would like to wave the baton, there are times when the orchestration is not yours.

Your mother’s nerve endings give her certain sensations. To her, the bugs are true. Let her be. She does not hurt anyone. Most beloved Nancy, you cannot keep your mother the same. You can love her the same. You can love her more, but she remains her own sovereign Being. The same way as when she might have bought a hat you didn’t favor, you acknowledged her right to have the hat she wanted, no matter what you might have thought of it.

With all the love in your heart, you asked Me what you should do for your mother. Your real question, My beloved, is not what to do for your mother. The real question is what shall you do with your feelings when you see your mother responding in a way that frightens you. As in all things, let go of the idea that she has to be a certain way. Don’t fight her, darling Nancy. What terrible thing would happen if you said to your dear mother: “I’m sorry the bugs are bothering you.�?

The fact is something is bugging her, you understand?

Simply consider your mother’s happiness. If your mother had a broken ankle, you would not tell her to forget about it and stop limping. But a break in her thinking, you would deny and denounce.

Now, I have heard that it has been helpful to take vitamin B in instances like this. I would say both you and your mother. Take them together. Take the B vitamins, especially 12, that go under the tongue. Just the ones under the tongue. That may well help. It won’t hurt.

And, yes, you were right. You don’t want to play tricks on your mother. Take care of your mom, at the same time as you release your responsibility for her. You are not responsible for what she thinks or says.

How fortunate she is to have such a loving daughter. And fortunate are you to have an 83-year old mother. How fortunate am I to have such a loving daughter as well.

Give your mother what she wants. Make her as happy as you can. And you will feel better, beloved, much better.

And now you fold your hands over your heart and know that all is well and that God in Heaven and God within strew love upon you without cease. You are most beloved. Keep that thought, most beloved.

Love, God
