30 days, day 22

Today I am thankful for breath. Daily breath. When we stop having daily breath, we are done on this earth. Breathing is an involuntary bodily function. It happens without you thinking about it. Look at yourself, you have been awake this morning for a couple of hours. Have you once, this morning, thought about breathing? It just happens automatically.

Now, when you are really sick, like if you have bronchitis or pneumonia, we tend to think more about breathing and we wish that we doing better at it. If you have COPD or some other lung disease, you certainly think about breathing more. People that are on oxygen all the time I promise you, they are thinking about breathing.

We should not take breathing for granted. It is a gift from God. It is another one of His little miracles.

Take a deep breath or two. Right now. Think about those breaths and how they nourish your body. Then give thanks to God for His daily sustenance.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
