Breathe

I remember many years ago when I was riding in an ambulance and having troubles breathing. They told me that if I did not stay awake they were going to have to put a trach in my neck. I was trying so hard to breathe and was having a hard time staying awake and I was so tired from trying to breathe. They started to make marks on my necks. We finally got to the hospital and no trach. Praise God.

They found out that I had epliglotitus. Which means all the air goes into your stomach and not your lungs. It was a rough few days until they figured out what was going on. For a few days I had a temp over 103 and not breathing very well on my own.

I don't know about you but sometimes when I go to the hospital I feel like a test subject or a guinea pig. I feel like sometimes it is their best guess that they go with and that there is sometimes no certainty.

Well, I have learned to appreciate breathing more and more. I realize that I am dependent on breathing. If I wake up and I am breathing I know it is going to be a great day.

I wonder if we appreciate being able to breathe. Sometimes we take so much in our lives for granted. The next time you take a breath make it a deep one and thank God for it.

In fact when you get ready to take this deep breath, think about breathing in God.

I crave God in my life the same way I crave a breath of air.

What do you crave in your life?? Do you crave God??

Just a thought.

It Is All Good
