Seeing the sunrise over the ocean is breathtaking. The first time I saw Todd was breathtaking. Todd's first smile and the first time he wrapped his tiny fingers around mine was breathtaking. Being with my mother as she struggled with cancer at the end of her life was breathtaking. Loving a grandchild is breathtaking. Being told in the hallway at the hospital that my Daddy had died was breathtaking. Loneliness is breathtaking. The sacrifice that Christ made on the cross for me is breathtaking. I have seen and experienced some breathtaking things. Today, MG is breathtaking. He literally takes my breath away and not in a good way. He sits on my chest and breathes his fire on me. It has been very humid here lately. The humidity hits me in the face when I walk to the mailbox or to get in my car. It is a reminder to me that I must take care of myself. I have to take it easy and be respectful to MG even if MG is not respectful to me. I thank God that He is the giver of breath to me. I thank God that I am able to drive my car today. I thank God that he gives me the breathtaking opportunities with my grandson. I think...let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
"The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33:4
