"Blessed and Breathing?"

Genesis 2:7 The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Can you hear your heartbeat? Can you feel your pulse? Take a deep breath.

That's life.

Life is a blessing in itself. Sometimes we get so caught up with things we want, people let us down, a big test in class, our mistakes we forget to just stop and realize we're breathing.

If you are breathing you are blessed.

Everyday we wake up to take a deep breath and start the day we are enjoying God's riches blessing: LIFE. We are still alive and breathing. Why not take advantage of that and do something good today. Take that breath of life you were given and put it to God's use. (which in fact is good use!)

Schedules seems to overwhelm, people seems to load on the pressure and decisions seems to cloud our view as to how blessed we really are. We go around with long faces and tired expressions so caught up in our reality we miss someone else's reality. I do it all the time. I get so caught up in my "list of things to do" I forget to look up and see someone hurting or in need of me.

Christ gave up his breath so we could breath.

Life is a blessing.

Treat it that way.

And next time someone asks you "How are you doing?" You can say with your head held high, "I am blessed and breathing:)"
