Hi Kathy,
I have not forgotten that you asked me to write about my experiences after I read the article "the Fifth Hoop". To keep it simple, I will start after I read the article - I immediately felt, upon finishing the article regarding the Fifth Hoop,
that it was so relevant to the decision of my daughter, Jessica, and her husband, Jorgen, to adopt a baby (or a sibling group of 2) from Ethiopia. They had been struggling with infertility, then a miscarriage in the Fall of 2005, then she became pregnant on her birthday (May 11) 2006 and was 6 months along when her water broke - their baby boy was born 3 months early - weighed 1 lb. 13 oz. and only lived for 4-1/2 hours.
Prior to her struggle to have a family (Jessie was married previously and had been trying for 12 years total to become a "Mom"), my older daughter, Meggan had 2 boys - each required long bedrest and came 5 and 4 weeks early. While she was in the hospital waiting for the second son to be born, I cared for my first grandson and visited the hospital every day. I had many experiences meeting young parents and families who had preemies who either did or did not "make it". So I was questioning that difficult journey - wishing to find answers for them and for the many young women who could not conceive or carry a child to term. I started to realize how widespread this problem really is.
When I connected the coming of the time when all the Four Directions (and Four Colors - Red, Yellow, Black and White) would come together, I was reminded for a brief moment of the song I sang in Sunday School as a child - red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight - Jesus loves the little children of the world (I used to get such a surge of joy when I sang that song)....and in a moment of Revelation, I saw the reason for so much childlessness in our world, today. It seemed to me that God was trying to tell us that bearing a child with our own DNA was not the purpose of mankind - not his vision for us - but rather to accept all children, all people and to bring all the 4 Directions - the Four Colors - together in one "family". He wants us to stop worrying about our "heritage" and begin creating peace together......all nations - all ethnicities sharing - connected to him in spirit. I have always loved children - all children.
There were many more fleeting visions connected to this. I know a family who has adopted four children - mixed racially and ethinically and I saw them in my mind and felt they opened their hearts and were given a beautiful blended family. I hope I can be instrumental in this amazing movement toward spiritual joy for "parents" and children alike who find their way to this journey. I have opened my heart and mind and asked Spirit to move me to be useful wherever I'm needed.
If I have any further thoughts on this, I'll send them along.
Love, Peg
