As I was out running some last minute errands today, the Christmas song "Breath of Heaven" by Amy Grant came on the radio, and it brought back a flood of memories of last Christmas Eve and my Dad's lung transplant. I remember hearing this song on Christmas Day, driving home from the hospital and how the words to the chorus had taken on a new meaning to me as I thought of my sweet dad lying in a hospital bed, trying to breathe with his new lung. I'm overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude that he is still here with us one year later. I'm so grateful for the donor, their family, the doctors and so many of you who have helped him and our family in your own special way. But mostly I'm grateful to God, for his son, for their mercy and for the "breath of heaven" that our family has constantly felt surrounding us this past year.Merry Christmas everyone!
Chorus:
Help me be strong, help me be, help me
Breath of Heaven, hold me togetherBe forever near me, breath of HeavenBreath of Heaven, lighten my darknessPour over me Your holiness for You are holy
