There are a few old sayings that accompany a found penny. One suggests picking it up, and all day long, you’ll have good luck. There is also the folklore that angels who are missing you drop a penny for you to find. I recently read another thought concerning a found copper coin and that is the inscription “In God We Trust.”
I am a big fan of Gods little splashes of joy in my world. These splashes are very personal so you will have to conjure your own list but I love to be outside. I love flowers and colors and butterflies. I love the sound of trickling water, the breeze tickling the leaves of the trees and the song of the birds. I love the smell of fresh mowed grass, lilacs, roses and sunshine. Often, I can be out in my yard and feel God or smile as he sends a purple butterfly floating by or a vibrant blue hummingbird who just hangs and looks at me for moments as tho saying hi before flitting off…my KOI who wiggle and splash when I talk to them in mamas special fishy voice.
Often throughout our daily walk through life, God sends us little reminders of his love and presence in our lives. The other day I was in a sad place, missing my grandma, so I asked God if he’d find her up there and if it would be ok, could she please just visit me for a little bit. Later that afternoon I was standing at my kitchen sink and all of a sudden I could smell my grandmas cutting board, seriously it was so intense I started to cry as I said, “Hi grandma, Oh how I miss you, can you believe I’m a grandma now too?” I took her on a tour of my house and showed her all my grandchildren things, and then gently she was gone. Might some think I’ve lost my mind, maybe, but I think I got a penny from heaven, because smells of my grandmas kitchen show up when I cook and memories are often kitchen based so it wasn’t a big surprise that, that is how God let me know she was around, but even more so, He was!
Pennies and Heaven are not scriptural, they are splashes when you just might need reminded, that, that prayer you are praying, that wait you are waiting for… God hears it, He is working behind the scenes, never lose faith and the next time you see a penny in your path…pick it up and read it. It’s a reminder. “In God We Trust.”
I pray for you today little splashes of joy in your world and a penny in your path, just to remind you…God’s Got You…Be blessed, Be a Blessing and Thank you for joining me. 🥰
