BALLOONS !!
At the mention of the balloons, it brings a sense of delight and joy . One can almost hear the squeals of laughter and delight of children piercing through the crowds in a shopping mall, at a marketing event or during an exciting party fun in the comfort of your own home.
To some, it reminds them of fear. The trauma of experiencing a balloon accidentally popped in front of your face can leave a great impact on the faint hearted.
On one ocassion, I had the opportunity to hold on to a bunch of colourful balloons, it took a step of faith to pose a picture with it in a public place but I did it anyway. It could be a once in a lifetime experience. In fact, it does brings a sense of liberation while holding it.
Looking back, it reminded me how our lives is so much like a bouquet of balloons.
1. It is light and filled with air
2. It can burst any time without warning
3. It can fly away if you intentionally let it go
4. It can bring joy and comfort to children and adults alike
5. It can take the form of different shapes, sizes and colours
6. It takes great effort and whole lot of lung breath to produce one decent sized balloon.
Life can be hard, with so many responsibilities to shoulder and needs to be met at home and at work. We are hit with seasons of challenges in the form of an aged parent, a family member who is taken ill, a child who requires special care or just having a really trying time at work. We may need to let go of things, people or mindset that holds us back, so that we can freely move on with renewed purpose and direction.

Surely it takes committed effort to make life work, but as we partner with God, He can make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Time to look up. Be childlike and get yourself a balloon. And enjoy the wonders of it.
