Dropping off a child at his or her new chapter in life is brutal. We just dropped off our oldest son for his second year in college, and it still left a feeling of a gaping hole in my body. We try to distract ourselves or stuff down our feelings, but invariably they show up at the worst times – like the chicken aisle at the grocery store.
Breath is the only thing that can pour into that gaping hole. Breath brings healing. Life. Breath settles our bodies, quiets our distracted minds, and allows our heart to feel. Breath connects our souls with God, our creator, for healing, guidance, and wholeness.
Listening portion today:
“After you have suffered a little while, God will restore you, confirm you, strengthen you, and establish you.”
1 Peter 5:10
