windfall


ladies & gentlemen, i am a millionaire!!

well, sort of, as this email promised :

so, i'm about to receive a windfall equivalent to about MYR3.5m,
thanks to the generosity of Mr Lewis's Lotto Awards. suddenly, i am
smacking my lips, anticipating that LCD tv, dSLR & driving vacation
in new zealand. & i can almost feel the dopod with GPS in my
hands.


but, before i dream further, i remembered one thing - i have never
participated in that sweepstakes, or any other for that matter. so,
is this akin to the black money or magic stone scams we've read
so much before in the papers? stories that keep emerging because
it's fair game when there's a willing buyer & a willing seller? & of
course, as dire straits sang years ago, who doesn't want money
for nothing
??

during this festive season of giving & receiving, let's not forget the
Teacher'sadmonition :

Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard
against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist
in the abundance of his possessions."
luke 12:15

have a truly blessed christmas!!

Yes, me too - I was a millionaire 10 times over when I started posting my email address.

Remember - money cannot buy you happiness.

Have a blessed christmas!

SAHM,

sometimes i wonder how they got my email add.

of course, the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

blessed christmas!
