The Balloon on the Bridge

The Balloon on the Bridge

DAY 22 —“The Balloon on the Bridge”

“Welcome, dear friend. We are in Day 22 of Advent,
and this is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where letting go becomes an act of trust.”


“Today’s story unfolds on a riverside bridge…
with a balloon floating into the sky.”


“A child stood on a bridge holding a red balloon.
A sudden gust of wind tugged it from her hand.
The balloon rose upward
as the girl reached out helplessly.
Her father knelt down and said,
‘Some things are meant to stay.
Some things are meant to fly.’
The girl watched the balloon disappear
into the bright morning sky —
and unexpectedly smiled.
It hurt to let go,
but it also felt
strangely free.”


“Surrender is not losing.
Surrender is releasing what weighs your soul
so God can give you something better.
We cling out of fear,
but Advent invites us
to open our hands.
Letting go is trust.
Letting go is obedience.
Letting go is saying to God,
‘You write the story.
I will follow.’
Your heart cannot receive
what God wants to give
until it releases
what is no longer yours.”


“So today ask:
‘What balloon am I still holding too tightly?’
Whisper:
‘Lord, help me let go.’”
