Almost Wordless Wednesday

A patient at my work gave me a penny the other day. I had been seriously thinking about mom that day and this poem jumped to mind. I just had to share it. Pennies are precious!

Pennies from Heaven

I found a penny today

Just laying on the ground.

But it's not just a penny

This little coin I've found.

Found pennies come from heaven

that's what my Grandpa told me.

He said Angels tossed them down

Oh, how I loved that story!

He said when an Angel misses you

They toss a penny down,

sometimes just to cheer you up

To make a smile out of your frown.

So don't pass by that penny

When you're feeling blue.

It may be a penny from heaven

That an Angel's tossed to you.

1000 Gifts: 3 gifts quiet

• it is a gift to have a few minutes after the kids have gone to sleep of quiet in the house. Sometimes I sneak in and just watch them sleep awhile. 
• it is a gift to have some quiet time in the mornings to prepare myself for another day. 
• it is a gift to have an end the quiet when my girls wake up. I love them to pieces and would not exchange the noise for anything!
