Hello ,
January, 2009 in
Danbury, Connecticut Donald Peter's dream of winning the lottery came to fruition, when the ticket that he had purchased came in as a 10 million dollar winner.
There was only one problem; Donald Peter's dropped dead of a heart attack that very afternoon before he ever realized that his dream had come true! His wife had almost
discarded the winning ticket because she was so overcome by grief at her husband's death.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for this man who had faithfully purchased lottery tickets with his wife Charlotte for 20+ years, only to pass away right before he could have known that he was a winner.
Money if a wonderful tool...but that's all it is! It doesn't bring people back, it doesn't make a person happy, and it doesn't fix many things that are broken in our society.
"And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."
Luke
12:15
I thank God today, for the ability to earn a living; but I'm also thankful for a life that money can't buy as a live in a relationship with Him!
What are you
thankful for today?
Have a great day and God bless!
