My writings began with an e-mail
from a “baby” brother over 2000 miles away titled, “Special Penny”.
“There are the usual stories about
pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, or gifts from angels, but this story
had a different twist. It was about a wealthy man who was entertaining his
employee and his wife. As they were
about to enter an exclusive restaurant, the host stopped suddenly, looked down
on the pavement for a long silent moment, then reached down and picked up a
penny. He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a
great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why
would he even take the time to pick it up?”
Throughout dinner this question
nagged the wife and she finally asked him if the penny he had found had been of
some value. As he handed her the coin, she could not at first define what he
saw… “United States of America”? “One
Cent”?
The wealthy man had to explain, “In God We Trust”, was written on the coin. His response was to let God know he had trust in Him by picking it up.
Have you spotted a penny lately...What was your response?
See you next time...God willing! God bless!
