With Praise of Yawns!

Pastor Greg Asimakoupoulos holding a yawning Jeremiah Besso

Don’t think it rare that we need air.
It is our daily bread.
Without that unseen nourishment,
we all would soon be dead.

So, when a yawn is coming on,
don’t fight it. Feed your face.
Our appetite for oxygen
is part of God’s sweet grace.

So open wide. Those yawns provide
our hungry lungs with food.
That extra snack of oxygen
is anything but rude.


In addition to each week’s post on this website, Greg Asimakoupoulos offers daily video devotionals on his YouTube channel. Here is a sample video. If you are interested in receiving these devotionals Monday through Friday, you can subscribe on Greg’s channel.
