The Weight of a Balloon And the Joy of Release!
Balloons! I just can't help but smile when I see them. They seem to be a symbol of celebration. A birthday. A new baby. A graduation. A grand opening. An anniversary. It's always fun to watch balloons go up in the sky as if giving a celebration gift to Jesus. As a...
