Breath of Heaven

"Happiness"

Little moments can make a big difference in someone's life.  Just this evening, while putting Brad to sleep, I had one of those moments.  As I rocked him in my arms, his lullaby CD started playing, "Breath of Heaven."  I started singing along to the CD and a TON of emotions broadsided me at once. As I looked into Brad's eyes, I couldn't stop thinking about that little blessing in my arms.  The child I was told I may not be able to have.  The child, that while I was pregnant, made me so violently ill I was hospitalized several times.  The child that really my extended family has called, "Happiness" during a time in our life filled with a lot of sadness.

As I sang, he kept smiling and putting his hands around my face.  I started to pray and thank God over and over for Him putting this little boy in my life.  

The lyrics of the song really inspire me to know that Mary had the same thoughts as most of us Mothers do everyday.  I pray that God will continue to guide me and show me that the smallest of moments are sometimes the most important.  And also, that when you are moving so fast in life, you often miss them.  

I am thankful for my little Breath of Heaven or should I say, Breath of Happiness.

Breath of Heaven

I have traveled many moonless nights,

Cold and weary with a babe inside,And i wonder what i've done.Holy father you have come,And chosen me now to carry your son.I am waiting in a silent prayer.I am frightened by the load i bear.In a world as cold as stone,Must i walk this path alone?Be with me now.Be with me now.Breath of heaven,Hold me together,Be forever near me,Breath of heaven.Breath of heaven,Lighten my darkness,Pour over me your holiness,For you are holy.Breath of heaven.Do you wonder as you watch my face,If a wiser one should have had my place,But i offer all i amFor the mercy of your plan.Help me be strong.Help me be.Help me.Breath of heaven,Hold me together,Be forever near me,Breath of heaven.Breath of heaven,Lighten my darkness,Pour over me your holiness,For you are holy.Breath of heaven,Hold me together,Be forever near me,Breath of heaven.Breath of heaven,Lighten my darkness,Pour over me your holiness,For you are holy.Breath of heaven.Breath of heaven.Breath of heaven.
