My religion
I admit I’m religious. I’m a catholic and I proudly practice my religion, although not on a fanatic, blind way as many of you may think. I believe in God and I sure believe God is everywhere and has something for each of us. I also have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of religious ceremonies, I believe that each of us has different relationships with God and he loves us that way.
Last year we had a serious family problem, it was not even sure if we will spend any more Christmas, all four, together. It was hurting me, I cried a lot that time and I didn’t want to believe that it’s happening with us again. I went to the church several times and I honestly prayed to God: “Please keep my family together.” And we did stay together. Then I promised I would go at least once in a month to a church and thank God for whatever I can. And so did I. For a few months I went alone to the church, thanked God for my family, for my friends and loved ones. And I also asked him to keep them safe and in happiness, and I was/am happy to do so, it makes me somehow content.
I have to admit that for 2 or 3 months now, I haven’t gone to the church, and I feel bad for it. But today I went back again. Nothing special, just went inside, said some prayers and then I thanked for what I already have and asked him to give me patience and strength. And today I realized why I feel content after such a visit. I have the time and space to think through my life, summerize what I have and practice gratitude. Also I’m thinking about my problems, why they are even problems, what are my feelings regarding them, why I reacted the way I did. Moreover what could I do on an other way and what would be the solution. It’s as simple as a meditation. Well, maybe I could meditate instead of praying, but we are different, everyone believe in something. I believe in God.
