Pennies from Heaven

Walking through a packed parking lot, a shiny penny caught my eye. Finding a faced-up penny is supposed to be a sign of good luck; Should I pick the penny up? I almost picked the penny up, but decided to forgo touching the dirty pavement and kept walking.

A day later, I decided to unwind with a nice long shower. When I stepped out of the shower, placing one foot on the floor mat, I noticed a shiny faced-up penny. Where did this shower penny come from? Do pennies really come from heaven?

I picked the penny up and looked at it closely…

I told you that story to tell you this story…

I’ve been waiting on God, lately. I am nervous about certain aspects of my life and wondering when and how things will come together. I have been waiting and trusting our Lord, because I clearly know that HIS timing is best, because HE knows what’s best. Another thing I know clearly is that our time table looks nothing like the Lord’s time table. I know that I am in a season for change, and change is not always a bad thing…in fact, we are built for change.

As I have been facing change and the coming of change, this also means that I am facing the unknown. The unknown can be the companion of change which equals nervousness.

So why am I seeing pennies? Why would a penny catch my eye? If I had picked up the parking lot penny, would I have found the shower penny? How did that penny even get on my floor mat?

So what did I find when I picked up the penny and examined it closely?

I found the advice that I would give any one of you who is facing uncertain times like me…

“In God We Trust.”
