'lucky' draw

I've never been interested in lucky draws, because i've never won a single one before. The odds of my 'lucky' ticket being fished out of millions of hopefuls seems ridiculous to me. To make things worse, Im competing with lucky draw 'pros'. Surely, half of the million entries belong to aunties each throwing in 30 entries.

Lately, i've participated in 1-2 though. Im starting to 'appreciate' the simple joy of sending in an entry, knowing that you've just earned yourself a chance to be probable owner of things such as 'iPod', 'Watch', 'Car' or even simple things like 'Narnia gift set'.

I think some rich people will think it's so 'cheapskate' and others will say that we've got to fight for ourselves and not wait for money, or prizes for that matter to 'drop from the sky' or 'grow on the trees'. At least it's free, unlike 4D where you have to pay, be degraded and prostituted to gambling.

Yes, it's important to be realistic and hardworking. Of course, i won't send in my entry and wait with such anticipation by my mailbox daily awaiting for santa to send his belated 'lucky' gift.

Perhaps, one fine day when we have long forgotten about the draw, a surprise will sit in our mailboxes awaiting to make our day. I'll be delighted and know that it is God's way of blessing me even in the small things. no such thing as 'luck'.


When was the last time you had a pleasant surprise,
and genuinely feel that warm simple joy in your heart?

When?
