Whoever trusts in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
—Proverbs 11:28
I
flipped the page of my “grandchildren” calendar to the month of March and
chuckled at the picture of Addie and Eli captioned “Make Your Own Luck.” They
were making faces—with the help of Mr.
and Mrs. Potato Head’s interchangeable parts, Addie with a mouth as wide as a
rainbow and ears fit for a leprechaun, and both of them in hats, Addie’s purple
and Eli’s a St. Paddy’s Day green.
But
how do you make your own luck? Isn’t luck a chance happening? Like something we
wish for?
