This story is about Jemimah Jope, the introvert. She spends most all of her time in quite reflection and meditation of the creator God and His magnificent creation. Jemimah is a child of the sixties, and her worldview is framed by the political and religious views from that period of history. Jemimah learns to let bygones be bygones and to literally bury the hatchet on all of the past wrongs and injustices she has observed and encountered. In learning to put past disappointments and loss into perspective, Jemimah is able to open her heart to another needy soul, TeeVah, the cat. For Jemimah and Zope, finding TeeVah is love at first sight. TeeVah is not what she appears to be, but she is just what Jemimah and her trusty companion, Zope, need to help cope with the seven stages of loss and move out of the past and into the present.
When we meditate upon the ways of the Holy Spirit, our minds become open to the understanding that surpasses all other understanding. TeeVah impacts Jemimah and Zope in ways that they never could have imagined, and in doing so, they all come together to form a family of likeminded souls. For people experiencing loss of a friend or dream or disappointment, this story may be able to help identify the stages of loss in a subtle and caring way and help find the courage to move forward. This is necessary for Jemimah and Zope to be able to grow and mature always expressing gratitude for the blessings that God has bestowed. When we align ourselves with purposes God intended for our lives, life becomes meaningful and purposeful. So seize the present and be content with your lot in life, praising the creator God. Halleluiah! Halleluiah! Amen!
