Hold Your Breath

Hold your breath! Try it!

Air is one of the most precious substances we have, not because it is rare, but because five minutes without it we die.

But if you hold on to your breath as if it were yours, your air to keep forever, you die. But if you let it go, for family to breath, for animals to breath, for trees to breath, then it brings life.

Things of this world, things of our life are like that. They are not ours forever, yet we hold on to them as if our life depended on it. We hoard, we keep, we lose sleep and time over things we misplace or lose.

They are like the air we breath. Your clothes are to use and pass to someone else. Your money flows in and flows out. Your books are to be read and then be read by others.Your car carries you place, then it carries someone else places.

Hold on to things with a death grip, then death they will bring. Old clothes clutter our closets, loads of money will be swindled from you by thieves or taken by the government. Your books will get dusty and molded, giving you allergies, and your car will rust and break down.

Oh, for the freedom to enjoy a blessing, to let it go, to bless another, bestow life to oneself and to others. What a breath of fresh air!
