I Was tagged.

I was tagged by Corey

If I won a million Dollars, first I would be a little skeptical.

This Sunday night we watched an old Walton's DVD on just this very issue. Of course it was during the depression so it was a $250. bequest. Grandma Walton promised $50. for the church roof, $3. per kid and then $100. to John Boys Education. Mean while the hot water heater was on the fritz. So they spent The education fund on th Hot Water heater and took gram pa's old watch in for repair. The bequeathing was not met due to medical debt on the estate and so all was lost. Gram pa sold the watch to get less than half the Education fund back. It was the TIME that grams spent at the university that was the saving grace.
So having had that in mind I think I would do nothing until all was throughly investigated and taxes paid. Then when the monies were in the bank after I changed my phone number and address :) I would consider it and only then.
A million dollars is not very much. It will not go very far after taxes.
I would pay off all debt on my home.
Get beloved a nice truck a white one that could pull the trailer and we could all go camping in. Set aside a fund to pay for Insurance and registration for many years. Set aside a cash fund to be available as needed.
I would place a large amount in low risk investments to bone up our retirement. Including large 529's for the kids educations.
I would pray for wisdom in a praise offering to give back to others, I would take my time and be wise here. It would be toward Widows and Orphans Health I think. True widows.
We would travel as a family and explore the world around us.
Move to the forest somewhere or live there seasonally.
debt free. Set for retirement.

Now if They feel like playing....I tag.

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
