Hello everyone! I’m Lori, the host of "Your Birth God's Way." Today, I have something truly unique to share with you. Recently, I found myself in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, having some quiet time away from daily interruptions, which led to an enlightening experience. I watched my two mama cats give birth, and the insights I derived from this natural event are too intriguing to keep to myself.
Yesterday was unexpected but wholly enlightening. My youngest, Abigail, discovered that our two country cats were suddenly mothers. To my surprise, there were life lessons in their birthing process that could benefit us all, especially mamas navigating through life's busy seasons.
One significant lesson from my feline friends is the power of intuition. Despite being told that the cats would wander off to give birth, intuition led them to stay on our back porch – their safest known space. We, too, must rely on our instincts, especially when it comes to nurturing new life.
The second lesson was their instinctual drive to protect. After giving birth to seven kittens, these mama cats fiercely guarded their young, a stark reminder of the natural protective instincts ingrained in all mothers. Like my cats, we must trust and embrace our protective nature.
Motherhood isn’t a solo journey. Interestingly, my cats collaborated during birth – cleaning and supporting one another through the process. It’s a powerful lesson in accepting help, as teamwork can make the challenges of motherhood more joyful and less daunting.
Finally, there’s immense strength in collaboration. Together, my cats managed to nurse each other's kittens effortlessly. It’s an indication that when women unite, incredible things happen – a nod to the communal help that women historically offered one another.
Witnessing my cats work together and support one another offered a compelling lesson in trust, protection, acceptance, and unity. By working together, we can overcome immense challenges. This broader lesson is vital for us as humans, especially amongst mothers.
