BREATHE ON ME!

Remember the old hymn "Breathe on me breath of God"? Do you think it originates from Ezekiel 37 and those "dry bones"? Them bones, them bones just laying on that plain needing sinews, muscles, blood and finally, air. How could they be alive without air? How can we be alive without air?

Well, of course we can't. Nor can we be alive in Christ without the breath of God, the Holy Spirit.

So, I'm making this short, and I hope sweet, today. Just like old Ezekiel, I say to myself, "Lord, I need your sweet breath within me. I need it today as I sit at my computer, everyday as I do my journaling and bible reading, when the phone rings or the doorbell, when the dog asks again to go outside, or when my patience is as thin as newsprint. I need your breath. Lord, in. Jo, out. Lord, in. Jo, out." Easy as can be; easier than pie which has never been easy for me.

Still getting caught up from vacation, so need to get up-and-at-em. Hope you missed me a little; I missed you!

Breathing for Jesus, Jo
