As we celebrate the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, I want to take a moment and contemplate on truly the beauty of LIFE.
LIFE is the sacredness given to each plant, animal and human to develop and grow into the perfection that God intended that created being to become. This is where I must begin my blogging, for without life I wouldn't be here writing nor would you be here reading. As a Catholic I believe that I am made in the image and likeness of God. I also believe that because of this great gift of "Godness", each and every person has uniqueness and greatness within themselves. From the moment of conception when the soul, the part of God within us, and our body are co mingled within our mother's womb, sometimes without her knowledge or consent, we ARE. As the ancient books states, " I knew you before you were born."
How can we as mere creatures interfere with such magnamity? And humans are not the only thing that has been given life - all animals and plants, great and small are given this great gift. But with humans, because we have been given the faculties of the mind; perception,. memory, logic, imagination and intuition, we have a higher calling and thus are called to give and to receive a greater respect.
This is what I know to be true. And as such I am called to become the best version of myself. I have found that to truly use all of these talents, there are 3 main relationships I must develop. The first is my relationship with my Creator for He knows me better than myself. And yet, when I develop this relationship I, myself am relvealed to me. The next most important relationship is to my family - first, my husband and my children ,then my extended family. And lastly the relationship to my fellow brothers and sisters within my world today.
As part of my relationship with my husband it is imperative to love unconditionally. And thanks to Pope John Paul II, I have gained great wisdom about this unique relationship. Many times Jesus used Marriage as an alagory to our relationship with Our Father in Heaven. When a relationship is based on a lie such as contraception, the lie perpetuates and eventually causes damage. Pope John Paul II truly understood the beauty of the marriage covenant, the act of which one renews their marriage vows. We call it in lay man's terms of love making because literally the couple's love is so strong that this love is manifested and 9 months later is given a name and thus a family is created. When this flow of life is blocked through selfishness or ignorance, the flow of unconditional love is also blocked.
What has this to do with a Wealthy Homeschool Mom? Celebrating Life, Enjoying Life, Being Grateful for Life is what this blog is all about. Are you truly living the Life God wants for you? Are you using all the gifts He has given you? Are you using contraception not only in your sexual area of life but in other areas of life? How can you truly be the conduit for the flow of Life?
I'd love to hear from you!
May you celebrate this day of Life as if it were your last!
Many blessings,
Jane
