IF I WON THE LOTTERY

IF I WON THE LOTTERY

A Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader

IF I WON THE LOTTERY

 

 

If I won the lottery

And a million dollars were mine

I would find a cure for cancer

And pray it came in time

 

To save my dearest husband

From the torture and the pain

And fill our hearts with gladness

And my tears won’t fall like rain

 

He’s always loved and cared for me

Through good times and the bad

I watch his uphill battle

And it really makes me mad

 

If there is anyone out there

And has a million dollars to spare

Invest it in cancer research

Till then I’ll rely on prayer

 

For prayer can make a difference

And faith can turn the tide

And bring about a healing

In God I can confide

 

I do not need a million dollars

Only faith the size of a mustard seed

Then I can move a mountain

Allowing God to take the lead

BEAUTIFUL! I wish I had a million dollars and it was enough to find a cancer cure. All I have are my prayers to a loving God.

Nancy,
I think Leah missed your intent. The true value of money is not in its worth but in what it can be used for. It isn't a contest as to which use has greater value, but rather that its use does have value. I love the comparison you used to weigh in the value of a million dollars. What a way to tip the scales in favor of God's simple design; using something as heavy as faith to demonstrate the vanity of man's greatest accomplishments.
Still praying for your husband. I can only imagine what daily torments Satan leaves on your door step. Yet through them all; God will ever be faithful. In the end He will use you both to bring glory to His name.
Lar
p.s. is this the poem you mentioned?

I think you could've dove a little deeper on this for there is alot of things one could do to better the world if they had a million dollars.
