99 Balloons

A few weeks ago I was at a church leadership retreat, and one of the speakers (Hi, Kathy!) played this video.  I wept.  It is so very powerful, so affirming of life, happy and heartbreaking at the same time.  It set me even further in the resolve I have about every life, even “flawed” life, being of Divine purpose and immense significance.  It’s an extremely well-done video, and appropriate for even kids to watch (preview it first, though).
