Blessed, i say

We are blessed with the ability to breathe. To breathe is to live, to live is to what? We all define it in many ways. Living is what you make of it. Life is living. We can live life to the fullest or in the eyes of others. We see thru our lens, which mirrors our thoughts which at times can be pure or tainted. Tainted by past history, whether our good or bad or other peoples thoughts, feelings, or actions, which can be adopted as our own. But we always have a choice to have positive, forward moving thoughts that move to a future of power and love, and positivity. Or we can be caught up in a world self seeking, self loathing, selfishness, looking for sympathy and every excuse to not live beyond ourselves.

We have a choice to make everyday a day worth living, worth breathing, a life beyond our own that points to the one who made us and allows us to breathe. How do we say thank you to the one that allows us to draw breathe and gives us another day to move forward and produce a better day than the last day?

We cannot sweat the small stuff, we have to do what impacts those around us in a positive way. We have to live the light and salt that is within us, let the words that come out of someone’s mouth be “thanks be to God.” You owe no man anything but love, but you owe God your life. We owe Him a life full of thankfulness and purpose.

Live completely and fully knowing that every breathe taken is a gift. Every moment you are never alone, but loved and protected. Through every storm He was there and is still there. Our face and heart should shine a little brighter when we give thanks for what we have been rescued from and where we are going with Him, the Lord God.
