The mother Pearl in the story, Your Mother Is A Witch, had spiritual gifts. Spiritual gifts are from God. They include the gifts of prophesy and discerning spirits. They should be asked for, welcomed, and used rather than feared, shunned, or not acknowledged as being available. Pearl used her gifts, and edified God and rightfully credited him for her supernatural abilities. Her daughter, Madora Louise Henson, authored this true story about life with Pearl. The names of the characters in the book are fictitious. You may add to your understanding of spiritual gifts by reading from the Bible from 1st Corinthians chapter 12 verse 1 through chapter 14 verse 33, and the book of Daniel.
