Up, up and away to the Father...

Looking at the balloons fly up to the sky, after the wedding day of michele made me remember something i believed in when i was a child..
I used to tie plastic bags to the ends of the strings of helium filled balloons.. in the plastic bags, i would place letters to my heavenly father.. deep in my heart,believing that the ballons would bring my letters of fears of questions and of requests up to Him. I never doubted in the faithfulness of the the balloons.. As i saw it fly up gradually, the silhouette of the ballon diminishing, i would pray in my heart to Him..

In the days that follow, i would wait, looking up at the sky, believing that HE will send me a reply in the same way.. though i did not know what to expect, or what form the reply will return in, i just waited..
Though i did not get a tangible reply, i continues mailing him air flown letters..

I can't remember when this practice stopped.. but perhaps, i should do it again.. rekindle that child-likeness within.. believin and anticipating His replies..

On that night, my ballon stopped in mid-air, probably cos the helium was insufficient.. i felt sad.. in my younger days.. the balloons always flew all the way up.. even if it stopped (well, at least now i know, it must have) it was out of my sight.

Thank God for balloons.. Even though all my ballons never reached Him, my thoughts, wishes He never fail to know and understand.

HOping for another balloon session...
