breathe the wind

"Mommy, I just need to breathe the wind."

These were the words of my 4 year old after I repeatedly denied him access to the outdoors on a stormy day last week.

The Bible speaks often of creation testifying to the existance and glory of God and we are a part of creation and as a friend of mine is fond of saying, the same breath that breathed creation called us His own.


I belong to God and he loves me and the longing in my heart is for him...

and I was reminded by my youngest child that my longing is sometimes, though temporarily, satisfied when I take the time to get outside and breathe the wind.
