412 Heavenly Mother's Spiritual Gift Giving
Heavenly Mother’s Spiritual Gift Giving I’ve been working on this piece in physical form since July, but I’ve been pondering & preparing for a few years. I’ve shared before how I feel we are BORN mothers, not mothers when we give birth. Looking at patterns I see here; the women in my life & the women in the past, including the women in the scriptures, I see the pattern of Her divinity. I have a daughter that was born w/congenital heart defects, other complications arose with this. When she was about 2 weeks old, she had a body scan which shared that she had ovarian cysts. I thought how can this be as a baby? I had painful ovarian cysts, even having one the size of a grapefruit removed before this daughter was conceived. It never occurred to me that women before birth had eggs forming within, as a matter of fact all the eggs a women will have been present when she is born. This thought has never left me. I see this as a glorious pattern of Mother, mothering, and motherhood. Women are given gifts, spiritual gifts, to nurture, to build, to bring, to bond, and to bless community AND the family they create. Woman are given the gift to support life within & without their bodies. Women have been given the gift to bless & protect their eggs, which begins at birth, long before they give birth themselves, and especially if they don’t. I love finding patterns that make myself & all women a reflection of She.
