Balloons

Did you ever try to get a balloon to move in a straight path or direction? You give it a push, but quickly it goes in some other direction. It seems to follow the slightest breath of wind current. My will is like a balloon. God tries to direct me to go in a direction that is good for me. For a brief moment I go as God directs me. Then something else attracts me and self-will takes over. Away I go caring not for God's plan for me. How are the winds in your life?

  1. Hands do what you're bid
    Bring the balloon of the mind
    That bellies and drags in the wind
    Into its narrow shed. WB Yeats
