Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
It's Lucky Penny Day. Perhaps a Lucky Penny will be lucky for you today.
Taken at face value, a penny doesn't buy you much, if anything. It used to. During your parents and grandparents days, a penny bought a lot of things. Most notably, Penny Candy got its name because a piece of candy cost a penny. Inflation year after year after year, eroded the penny's value. There has even been some discussion as to whether to discontinue the penny. Heaven forbid!
The penny still serves a very useful purpose, at least some of them are lucky pennies. Lucky pennies are found on the ground. Not all of the pennies you find will be lucky. But, it will only take one lucky penny used to scratch off the mega winner on a a scratch off ticket.
Pennies may indeed seem worthless in many cases, but Lucky Penny Day can prove to be anything but.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A penny for your thoughts !
Every time I find a penny, it is very special to me. It reminds me that ‘In God we Trust’. It’s inscribed on every penny.
Some think of pennies from heaven, reminders of those we loved and lost. And that’s a good thought too. Remembering that when you find a penny those heavenly angels are watching over you. It’s true that I think they do.
There are many suppressions about pennies. One isn’t supposed to pick one up unless it is heads up. But I’m not really superstitious so I pick up any I find. Those little pennies can add up you know.
Truth of the matter is I’m not lucky, but am blessed! Luck can be good or bad, but a blessing is always good !
I hope you all have a super Saturday !
PRAYER REQUEST
Please join me in praying for a coworker of DDIL #6 who's husband fell off a roof yesterday and was life flighted to the hospital. May the dear Lord bless him with healing and a full recovery.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
A penny is a lot of money, if you have not got a penny.
Yiddish Proverb
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2787. for pennies, they do add up
2788. for blessings, they are always good
2789. for a beautiful day to get outside, it’s looks like it will be a sunny one
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.

selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

A bit of love from someone dear…

I love pennies!
... I don't know if it's particularly lucky (or not), but I've a single cent that's lived in my handbag for years now.
Used to be I'd avoid those pennies lying 'bottoms up', but now I just take the opportunity to turn 'em right side up again. In God We Trust, indeed!
Oh my gosh with the friend's husband falling off the roof! Definitely will say a prayer.
That is so true about a penny being used to scratch off the lottery ticket that could be worth a lot of money! I tend to ignore pennies on the ground, maybe I need to start picking them up :)
betty
I always pick up found pennies. Keeping your friend's husband in my prayers. Cool and wet here today. Hope your Sunday is filled with blessings! xoxo
