All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Year 2010: Happy New Year to all..( part 6 of What does it means to be complete? A Life to Live to the Fullest.... )

Just few hours to wait and it will be year 2010... though I am not finish in my long part series of my blog: What does it means to be complete? A Life to Live to the Fullest...... this is still part of it... because a start of being "complete" to live life to the fullest is renewing our mind! (http://www.allaboutgod.net/profiles/blogs/renewing-your-mind ) as Paul wrote in Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God...
-Here in the Philippines, most Filipino families, religiously follow a set of traditions during New Year's Eve. Since dots or circular patterns are believed to bring more fortune and more money, many people should wear during that day.Other things that Filipinos believe that would bring luck and money would be collecting at least 12 different rounded fruits that we would be displayed on the kitchen table; having loads of coins in your pockets, making loud noises (by having pots and pans for this) and spending money on firecrackers, and opening all the doors and windows to invite more good fortune (not really done anymore as it invites the crooks!); and I remember when I was a kid I did this more than once, I jumped high when the clock strike midnight, hoping it would help me grow taller hahahhhahhaha.....

"Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elemental forces of the world, and not based on Christ. For in Him the entire fullness of God's nature dwells bodily, and you have been filled by Him, who is the head over every ruler and authority." ---Colossians 2:6-10

People are all excited and happy to see the next day after December 31... but then... many do not acknowledge God's goodness.. instead putting lives to predictions, lucky charm.... not knowing that the only answer is: JESUS CHRIST !!!!
