Recently I got to thinking more and more about Oprah's show where she gives away a million dollars. I thought about what I would do if I had a million to give away.
The 1st thing that came to mind was to pay off the debts of each family member, including brothers, sisters, parents, spouse...and so on. Wouldn't that be amazing? Can you imagine how you would feel being 100% debt free, but to also give that gift to your family?
I think I'd set up some kind of fund with the church where we could feed the homeless. Our church currently has a wonderful program where we do feed the homeless once a month, but I'd like to do this daily and provide Bible study, counselors, basic need items, and so on. I'd call it "Feeding the Spirit".
I would like clean water systems to be available and given to villages in such places as Africa. A mission to feed their souls in Bible study while giving them clean water and call it "The Spring of Life."
I'd like to know my son's college was taken care of and that the future needs of his Aspergers health care were covered.
I'd like to write and illustrate a children's book about autism and donate to Aspergers/Autism foundations.
We'd like a house with a yard for a dog to run in and a place for flowers. There would be a big ole tree house for my son to play in with an adopted brother or sister. I'd like an art studio to paint and work on my photography. There would be a library/den just for my husband.
There are so many areas a person could give and give to. I guess these were just a few that ran across my mind.
What would you do with a million dollars?

Hands down... if I had a million dollars I would adopt a baby or 2 or 3 and help several of our friends adopt babies as well... There is no better legacy I can think of then children. Anything else money can give will fade away or be left here when we die... not a child!
If there was money left over then I would love to help friends and family pay off some debts and maybe even move them closer to us (haha) BUT children... LOTS of them is where my heart is:):)
Nothing more rewarding than children!!! They are completely priceless.
