FRIENDS & BALLOONS

Friends are like balloons,
once you let them go, you can't get them back.



So I'm gonna tie you to my heart



so I never lose you.




Please tie yourself to one of my balloons.

    The balloon idea is so appropriate for you! Tie one on for me, definitely!

    I am enjoying ctching up on everyone's posts. It may take me another day or two to get around to everyone. You have had some interesting conversations going on at Penless lately. Thank you for the stimulating thoughts and talks!I love visiting here.

    What a neat post! Though I don't always comment, because of lack of time, I really enjoy your blog, Susan. I loved the post about why you love your church. It sounds as if you all have the right attitude about being the hands and feet of Christ.

    One time I do not mind to be tied up.

    And like balloons bumping each other they do not break, they only drift. I like it.

    How lovely! God is speaking through balloons to me this week that's for sure. My friend Pam (see my links) has just posted on balloons and God has spoken to me on this topic. I know it might sound odd but he has encouraged me to take a Hot Air balloon ride, he wants to show me something of himself through this (might sound random but ties in with some stuff God has been telling me!). Scary idea, but God wants us to soar and fly and enjoy abundant life doesn't he?

    Blessings to you! When I read your posts I always think 'Showers of Grace'!
