Wow! I feel a bit overloaded after that Word. I will have to read it several times over some days to get all of it. Don't get me wrong, I love it! I learned some things I didn't know before, like Advent being the start of a new church year. I agree with seeing the Holy Spirit as female in many ways. Even in Genesis 1:2 AMPC
we read "The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters."
Brooding is a very female thing. As for the grieving part, I miss my wife a lot at this time of year, even though I know she is in the arms of Jesus. Thank you for this post, "enjoy" your first Advent as an ordained minister.
