Breathe

by Cindy Geyer

Living Word: 
For unto you a child is born, unto you a son is given. Isaiah 9:6

Word In Motion:
A long time ago, in Bethlehem town, a little child was born.
Born in a stable, no room in the inn, swaddling clothes to be worn.

Not a king, not a warrior, not a great leader,
But a baby, a son, in a manger of cedar,

Though angels and shepherds announced him,
The powers and Kings denounced him.

The one on whom we waited with bated breath… to breathe.

Breathe little one!
For from your first breath, you bring life and hope to a lifeless and hopeless world!

Your breath is the voice of truth and love. 
Your breath is healing for the sick and food for the hungry. 
Your breath speaks of a love everlasting. 
Your breath calms fears and restores the broken.
Your breath bestows your precious Holy Spirit.
Your breath is the air we breathe.

Breathe, little one, breathe, for with your last breath you save the world.
