I am Lucky

We watched KrisTV again yesterday and she has been a laughingstock. But I later realize a higher respect is needed whenever we are talking about perceptions and traditions. She came from Chinese heritage and it is quite difficult for them to separate tradition even if they are already converted to Catholicism. We just can't get it why until now she is still too obsessed with lucky charms and fortune telling. She is known to be smart and regarded herself "religious" so it is quite surprising also if she keeps on justifying her actions regarding these. Her show last night talks about Ghost Month and we all went berserk when they began blessing the charms and crystals. One guy even lay his hands on it. It just that a contradicting principle if you are a Catholic and believing on these things. At one show she even said that she doesn't worship these "things" anyway so she did not break any rule. But she failed to understand that she is putting her faith on these "things" more on what God can do. She is afraid of harm and danger that she have the list of things to do just to prevent bad luck and harm. I can't imagine living like that by following all those directions. How can one enjoy life given if everything inside your heart is fear. Why not trust the Lord who is mighty and most of all trust on His love. Isn't it we are invited to live the life into the fullest? We are free! The Lord's love has given us the freedom. I once too have fond of reading horoscope. I always become worried afterwards for all the misfortunes I read. Then I realize for so many people under Libra sign and a Dragon sign, so these things will happen to all of us? I believe there were things happened just for coincidence. But I guess it happens just to test your faith. To really believe on these or simply pray and hold on to God. I once followed my mom to keep lucky charms on my wallet and wear bracelets with a little hope that what she is believing and telling were true. I guess its an act of desperation because I'm in the situation where I'm hoping things would be better. I have paid a big price for that and "lucky" now that I fully believe on the Lord. Well, the Lord has even paid the biggest price on the cross just to have me.
