The Story tells of a very Rich American who picked up a penny while on the way to an expensive dinner.
He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure.
A friend asked why he thot the Penny was of such great worth, he replied She casually mentioned that her daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value. A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this?
"Look at it." He said. "Read what it says." She read the words "United States of America."
"No, not that; read further."
"One cent?"
"No, keep reading."
"In God we Trust?"
"Yes!"
"And?"
"And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!"
How is that for God getting your Attention.
OK GOD... I may not understand everything that is happening right now,
<, but I DO know that YOU IN CHARGE!!! Thank you for the reminder...
"As for me and MY HOUSE, We will serve the Lord." AMEN!!!

Thots & What Knots
Thots & What Knots
just found this web posting... Its SOOOO cool.
God is Always watching... Always listening... We need to come to him with the faith of a child. Children are more IN THE MOMENT then adults. Kids learn to trust Special Adults for their Care. Thats what we need to do with God.
