This morning I was waiting outside the house where Nicole and Heidi take their piano lessons. I was sitting in the van and Cassidy, Alexander and Sadie were playing in the cul-de-sac. They were running around laughing, playing, having fun. I think one of the best things about being a parent is watching your children have fun together.
It was a cold morning and I could see their breath in the air. The words that came to my mind were, "..the breath of life..." I am amazed at these little people in my life!
It's impressive to me how wonderful God's plan is. I believe in God. I know He has sent us here, and that we lived with Him before we came to this earth. We have the opportunity to make choices now that will determine the details of our further existence. How could that not be so?
We live, we breath, and we build relationships that change our souls. My children have changed me. I'm not the same Elaine I was before they came. Their breath has breathed something into me that wasn't there before. How could I ever live without them? I know that if I die, or if, heaven forbid, one of them do, we will continue as a family as I follow God's outline for doing that. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a loved one without that knowledge. Our relationships as families are not trifling, they change us, and mark us and bring joy (and pain) in a way that nothing else can and that fact makes it obvious to me that there is a God, He has a plan for us, and He's made a way for us to always be together as a family.
And the Lord God aformed bman of the cdust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the dbreath of life; and eman became a living fsoul. Genesis 2:7
