“Which Kind Are You?”
A lot of Christians are like wheelbarrows—not good unless pushed.
Some are like kites—if you don’t keep a string on them, they fly away.
Some are like kittens—they are more contented when petted.
Some are like a football—you can’t tell what way they will bounce next.
Some are like balloons—full of hot air and ready to blow up.
Some are like trailers—they have to be pulled.
Some are like neon lights—they keep going on and off.
