Playing Balloonie...



I love playing balloonie with my kids. It's the fun game of seeing how long you can keep a balloon in the air without it touching the floor...We do a good job at this game when we work together and when there are only 1 or 2 balloons...more than that and it gets crazy. WELCOME TO OUR LIVES!! WE get so many things going...WE get so many areas of our lives that WE want to work on that WE can't keep them all going...WE can't keep all of the balloons of our lives up in the air...So what do WE usually do...WE quit! WE stop altogether and go back to how WE used to be...I say...Let's ask the GOD of the universe...the GOD that promises to come through for us...the God who says that we can "do ANYTHING through HIM (Christ) who gives us strenght" to play balloonie with us. Let's let other people come and help us too...God wants to use his people to help us through the good and tough times...Imagine what WE can do when the WE includes God! Let's go play balloonie with God!

Thanks for all the encouragement with our own games of bollonie yesterday. This had been one of those times when God has said to me, "I'll hold the bollons, and we'll get through this together". I really need to hear all you had to say. Thanks for being God's instrument.
