As I reread the words of chapter one in “The Air I Breathe,” I can’t help but think back to the first time I opened this book. It was four months ago and I was reading in the hospital waiting room while my 3-year old daughter was getting her tonsils out. I was there with my wife, who at the time was very pregnant with our third child. The gift of life is so precious.
It makes me wonder why God created humans in the first place. After all, He existed before us and is complete without us. Why create us at all? The best answer we have is that He wanted to share his love with creation.
And He has given us the same heart. We are, after all, created in His image. Just like our heavenly Father delights in us, so can I, in my own little way, take pleasure in parenting three beautiful children.
The life He breathes into us is an amazing thing.
