When I congratulated him, he told me something I’ve never forgotten “It isn’t going to change me!”
I didn’t realize how prophetic that was.
The windfall apparently wasn’t what he needed and he didn’t live long enough to collect his second check!

Awhile ago a friend shared a prayer with me…
“I pray that God will make me want what I have!”
Happiness is an inside job!
And that's why I would spread it around to designated projects asap. I want all but enough to live easily on gone in a hurry.
