Sometimes you just need to breathe ...

A mother overcome with grief at her son's funeral, was gasping for air among deep sobs.  Concerned that she might faint, the only thing I could think to say was, "Breathe, just breathe."  I knew that no words could console her loss at that moment. Sometimes all God asks of us is to breathe out the pain and breathe in God, who brings us everything we need to cross over into the next moment. If life to rushing at you like blazing light, remember - stand still for a moment and breathe. {I have posted this photo before...taken in Canonsburg, PA with an open lens to catch the car lights passing by.}
