Each Breath I Take...

is a blessing from the Lord.  Hello friends.  I am able to get online today and make a quick post.  I am at my daughter's house and she has internet.  Yeah!  I have to stay here tonite so my husband can finish cleaning the bedroom (dog hair and dust and clutter) so I can go home and sleep in my own home.  I had to go to the hospital on Sat. and was admitted and only got released today (Wed).  I had a severe asthma attack that started on Thurs but I did not beg to be taken to the hospital until Sat.  When I went it was so bad that the doctor had to ask me to make a decision whether or not I wanted to be resuscitated or sign a DNR instead.  I wanted to live so I did not sign a DNR.  Well, it took four days before I could be taken off the oxygen and get to come home.  I will be having to go to a lung specialist (forgot how to spell the real name).  I also have to reconsider working the two jobs.  And going on disability is also in the future.  So, I got a four day retreat of rest and did not even pray for it.  The Lord had His hand in the need for it I guess.  I almost waited too late to get help.  But I got it and now I am praising the Lord for providing me with another day to breathe.  Breathe His air, oxygen, yes, but more importantly to breathe His love and care.  To rest in His shelter of prayer and healing.  I will not be going back to work this week at all.  Am I worried about paying my bills?  No, I believe the Lord will provide.  If I start to worry then that means I do not trust Him and I trust Him more than ever.  So, I am going to rest and take it easy and do much praying and getting close to the Lord again.  I tend to just snuggle up enjoy my time with the Lord.  I know I will have to go back to work next week but until then I am going to just take care of myself and get my priorities right.  And the first priority is spending time breathing in the love of Jesus.  May you all feel His love today and remember to take a deep breath in, exhale, and just breathe.  Love and may you be blessed today.  Marshel
