Over the last couple of years my middle daugther has struggled to get out of an abusive relationship. About 6 months ago she took her 2 year old son and left her husband. She started new in the town where we live. Needless to say money has been very tight for her. She is working and has a really nice little apartment but living on $7.00 an hour is tough. We help as we can but she has stayed strong and is working to better her life. Right now her car is on its last leg and she has been driving on a prayer.
Last night she calls me at around 10:30pm crying. Scared the daylights out of me!! On her way home from work she decided to stop and purchase a scratch off lottery ticket ( she never does this because as she puts - No dollars to spare) SHE WON $10,000.00 !!! YES, TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!! She goes to the lottery office today to collect. What a blessing! This really has lifted her spirits and made her fill like everything is going to be OK. These are the kind of late night calls I like

You've got to be kidding! That's amazing, and definitely a blessing. Sometimes that's all it takes to get things going! Your quick post gave me chills. I'm so happy for her!

Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give. |

That is wonderful!!!!!!! A deserving girl gets a wonderful gift.....I hope this makes a great difference in her life and the life of her little one. God is good!
Last summer while on vacation, we stopped in at a little grocery store. The girl checking us out was flushed, and just beside herself.....we asked her if she was okay, and she told us she had just won $10,000 in the lottery. Her ticket was pinned to the inside of her bra!!!!

God is so good, he provides just when one needs it. Congratulations to your daughter. Remind her that she is one strong, courageous woman.
